Significant linkage of BMI to chromosome 10p in the U.K. population and evaluation of GAD2 as a positional candidate.
Obesity is a major health problem, and many family-based studies have suggested that it has a strong genetic basis. We performed a genome-wide quantitative trait linkage scan for loci influencing BMI in 573 pedigrees from the U.K. We identified genome-wide significant linkage (logarithm of odds = 3....
