Parent-of-Origin Effects of the APOB Gene on Adiposity in Young Adults.

Parent-of-Origin Effects of the APOB Gene on Adiposity in Young Adults.

Loci identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of cardio-metabolic traits account for a small proportion of the traits' heritability. To date, most association studies have not considered parent-of-origin effects (POEs). Here we report investigation of POEs on adiposity and glycemic...
