Genetic polymorphisms associated with obesity risk
Genetic polymorphisms associated with obesity risk
Obesity-susceptible loci discovered in 4 waves of GWAS for BMI (blue), 3 waves of GWAS for waist circumference (purple) and WHRadj (red), and 2 waves of GWAS for extreme and early onset of obesity (green). Each Venn diagram represents the loci of 1 paper.
BMI: body mass index; WHRadj: waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted); GWAS: genome-wide association studies.
