Genome-wide gene-based analyses of weight loss interventions identify a potential role for NKX6.3 in metabolism

Individuals show large variability in their capacity to lose weight and maintain this weight. Here, the authors perform GWAS in two weight loss intervention cohorts and identify two genetic loci associated with weight loss that are taken forward for Bayesian fine-mapping and functional assessment in...
