Replication of 6 obesity genes in a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from diverse ancestries.

Obesity is a major public health problem with a significant genetic component. Multiple DNA polymorphisms/genes have been shown to be strongly associated with obesity, typically in populations of European descent.
