Further evidence for a QTL influencing body mass index on chromosome 7p from a genome-wide scan in Dutch families.
Obesity is a rapidly growing threat to public health, driven by the increased occurrence of high caloric diets and sedentary lifestyles. Within this environment, genetic influences may largely determine inter-individual differences in obesity-related traits. To map genes involved in weight regulation, we performed a genome-wide linkage scan for body mass index (BMI), a reliable measure of total body fat, in 192 Dutch families including 315 twins and 210 siblings with data on BMI. Using variance components linkage analysis, regions with LOD-scores greater than 2 were observed on 6p25.1 (LOD-sco... Mehr ...
