Genome-wide association of pericardial fat identifies a unique locus for ectopic fat.

Genome-wide association of pericardial fat identifies a unique locus for ectopic fat.

Pericardial fat is a localized fat depot associated with coronary artery calcium and myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that genetic loci would be associated with pericardial fat independent of other body fat depots. Pericardial fat was quantified in 5,487 individuals of European ancestry from t...
