Large meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies five loci for lean body mass.


ABSTRACT: Lean body mass, consisting mostly of skeletal muscle, is important for healthy aging. We performed a genome-wide association study for whole body (20 cohorts of European ancestry with n?=?38,292) and appendicular (arms and legs) lean body mass (n?=?28,330) measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry or bioelectrical impedance analysis, adjusted for sex, age, height, and fat mass. Twenty-one single-nucleotide polymorphisms were significantly associated with lean body mass either genome wide (p?
