    Although hundreds of genome-wide association studies-implicated loci have been reported for adult obesity-related traits, less is known about the genetics specific for early-onset obesity and with only a few studies conducted in non-European populations to date. Searching for additional genetic variants associated with childhood obesity, we performed a trans-ancestral meta-analysis of 30 studies consisting of up to 13 005 cases (≥95th percentile of body mass index (BMI) achieved 2-18 years old) and 15 599 controls (consistently <50th percentile of BMI) of European, African, North/South American and East Asian ancestry. Suggestive loci were taken forward for replication in a sample of 1888 cases and 4689 controls from seven cohorts of European and North/South American ancestry. In ad

  • Trans-ancestry genome-wide association study of childhood body mass index identifies novel loci and age-specific effects - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39885687

    ABSTRACT: Summary Over the past 30 years, obesity prevalence has markedly increased globally, including among children. Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified over 1,000 genetic loci associated with obesity-related traits in adults, the genetic architecture of childhood obesity is less well characterized. Moreover, most childhood obesity GWASs have been restricted to severely obese children, in relatively small sample sizes, and in primarily European-ancestry populations. To identify genetic loci associated with early-childhood body mass index (BMI), we performed GWAS of BMI Z scores in eight ancestrally diverse cohorts: ZOE 2.0 cohort, the Santiago Longitudinal Study (SLS), the Vanderbilt University BioVU biobank, the Geisinger MyCode Health Initiative biobank, S

  • Novel loci for childhood body mass index and shared heritability with adult cardiometabolic traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33045005

    ABSTRACT: The genetic background of childhood body mass index (BMI), and the extent to which the well-known associations of childhood BMI with adult diseases are explained by shared genetic factors, are largely unknown. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of BMI in 61,111 children aged between 2 and 10 years. Twenty-five independent loci reached genome-wide significance in the combined discovery and replication analyses. Two of these, located near NEDD4L and SLC45A3, have not previously been reported in relation to either childhood or adult BMI. Positive genetic correlations of childhood BMI with birth weight and adult BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, diastolic blood pressure and type 2 diabetes were detected (Rg ranging from 0.11 to 0.76, P-values <0.002).
