摘要: Background Two meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have suggested that four variants: rs2605100 in lysophospholipase-like 1 (LYPLAL1), rs10146997 neuroxin 3 (NRXN3), rs545854 methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MSRA), and rs987237 transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein 2 beta (TFAP2B) associate with measures central obesity. To elucidate potential underlying phenotypes we aimed to investigate whether these variants associated with: 1) quantitative metabolic traits, 2) anthropometric (waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio, BMI), or 3) type diabetes, general overweight obesity.
