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

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. The aim of this study was to verify the extent to which 6 confirmed obesity genes (FTO...
