a lack of convincingly identified genetic determinants for metabolic traits in this population.
Arab populations are underrepresented in global genome-wide association studies. We
genotyped 1965 unrelated Arab individuals from Kuwait using Cardio-MetaboChip, and
tested SNP associations with 13 metabolic traits. Models based on recessive mode of
