Gene × physical activity interactions in obesity: combined analysis of 111,421 individuals of European ancestry.

Gene × physical activity interactions in obesity: combined analysis of 111,421 individuals of European ancestry.

Numerous obesity loci have been identified using genome-wide association studies. A UK study indicated that physical activity may attenuate the cumulative effect of 12 of these loci, but replication studies are lacking. Therefore, we tested whether the aggregate effect of these loci is diminished in...
