Body fat distribution, particularly centralized obesity, is associated with metabolic risk above
and beyond total adiposity. We performed genome-wide association of abdominal adipose …

There are more gene variants, more gene–gene and gene–environmental interactions
leading to obesity than current genome-wide association scan studies can verify. Those …

Genome-wide discovery efforts have identified more than 500 genetic loci associated with
adiposity traits. The vast majority of these loci were found through large-scale meta-analyses …

Variation in body weight and composition, as well as adipose tissue function, is regulated by
environmental and genetic factors, combined with a variety of interactions, including …

Background Fat mass and lean mass are two biggest components of body mass. Both fat
mass and lean mass are under strong genetic determinants and are correlated. Methods We …

Overweight and obese are risk factors for various diseases. In Taiwan, the combined
prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically. Here, we conducted a …

In the version of this article initially published, there were errors in Table 1. Specifically, for
eight SNPs, the effect allele frequencies were reversed. The correct effect allele frequencies …
