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 …

Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic
consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants …

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 …

Background: To identify loci associated with abdominal fat and replicate prior findings, we
performed genome-wide association (GWA) studies of abdominal fat traits: subcutaneous …

Central obesity and body fat distribution measured by waist circumference (WC) and waist
hip ratio (WHR) are good predictors of cardio metabolic adversities independent of overall …

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

To identify genetic loci influencing central obesity and fat distribution, we performed a meta-
analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies (GWAS, N= 38,580) informative for adult …

Waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) are surrogate measures of central
adiposity that are associated with adverse cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes and …
