Genome-Wide Association Study of Body Fat Distribution identifies Novel Adiposity Loci and Sex-Specific Genetic Effects

Mathias Rask‐Andersen, Torgny Karlsson, Weronica E. Ek, Åsa Johansson

This study identifies 97 novel genetic loci associated with body fat distribution using GWAS on 362,499 UK Biobank individuals, with 40 loci previously unlinked to anthropometric traits and significant sex-specific effects observed.
