<h4>Objective</h4>Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple novel loci associated with adiposity in European-derived study populations.

Here we examined the effects of these previously identified adiposity loci in African Americans.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 46 representative single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 19 loci that were previously reported in GWAS in Europeans (including FTO and MC4R) ...[more]
