Genome-wide association scan meta-analysis identifies three loci influencing adiposity and fat distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To identify genetic loci influencing central obesity and fat distribution, we performed a meta-analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies (GWAS, N = 38,580) informative for adult waist circumference (WC) and waist–hip ratio (WHR). We selected 26 SNPs
