Fine Mapping of a GWAS-Derived Obesity Candidate Region on Chromosome 16p11.2.

Fine Mapping of a GWAS-Derived Obesity Candidate Region on Chromosome 16p11.2.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 97 chromosomal loci associated with increased body mass index in population-based studies on adults. One of these SNPs, rs7359397, tags a large region (approx. 1MB) with high linkage disequilibrium (...
