• Trans-Ethnic Analysis of Metabochip Data Identifies Two New Loci Associated with BMI - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29381148

  ABSTRACT: Objective Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to assess obesity, which is associated with numerous diseases and negative health outcomes. BMI has been shown to be a heritable, polygenic trait, with close to 100 loci previously identified and replicated in multiple populations. We aim to replicate known BMI loci and identify novel associations in a trans-ethnic study population. Subjects Using eligible participants from the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) consortium, we conducted a trans-ethnic meta-analysis of 102,514 African Americans, Hispanics, Asian/Native Hawaiian, Native Americans and European Americans. Participants were genotyped on over 200,000 SNPs on the Illumina Metabochip custom array, or imputed into the 1000 Genomes Project (Phase
