| dc.description.abstract | Obesity is a heritable trait that arises from complex gene-environment interactions and is rapidly increasing in prevalence. It is defined by anthropometric measures such as the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). A large number of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been repeatedly associated with visceral adiposity and related traits in various populations using a hypothesis-free GWAS approach. Despite the robust genomic association reported in the literature, GWAS-identified loci often show poor reproducibility and deficient phenotype associations when investigated in other populations. | en_GB |
