  • Body surface area is a potential obesity index: Its genetic determination and its causality for later-life diseases. - Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) (2022) · Yu XH, Cao RR, Yang YQ, Deng FY, Bo L, Lei SF · PubMed 36502284

    This study aimed to identify novel genetic factors that contribute to body surface area (BSA) and explore its relationship with complex traits and diseases. Based on more than 330,000 European individuals in the UK Biobank, the first large-scale genome-wide association study for BSA was performed. Comprehensive genetic analysis and enrichment analysis were then performed to explore the biological function of the identified loci. The genetic correlations and causal associations between BSA and other anthropometry parameters, early growth indices, and later-life diseases, respectively, were assessed by complex genetic approaches. Genome-wide association study analysis identified a total of 456 conditionally independent single-nucleotide polymorphism mapping genes with known functions in the

  • New role of fat-free mass in cancer risk linked with genetic predisposition - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38538606

    ABSTRACT: Cancer risk is associated with the widely debated measure body mass index (BMI). Fat mass and fat-free mass measurements from bioelectrical impedance may further clarify this association. The UK Biobank is a rare resource in which bioelectrical impedance and BMI data was collected on ~ 500,000 individuals. Using this dataset, a comprehensive analysis using regression, principal component and genome-wide genetic association, provided multiple levels of evidence that increasing whole body fat (WBFM) and fat-free mass (WBFFM) are both associated with increased post-menopausal breast cancer risk, and colorectal cancer risk in men. WBFM was inversely associated with prostate cancer. We also identified rs615029[T] and rs1485995[G] as associated in independent analyses with both PMB
