Recent genome-wide association studies have identified multiple loci associated with BMI or
the waist: hip ratio (WHR). However, evidence on gene–lifestyle interactions is still scarce …

Obesity is highly heritable. Genetic variants showing robust associations with obesity traits
have been identified through genome-wide association studies. We investigated whether a …

Aims/hypothesis Genetic pleiotropy may contribute to the clustering of obesity and metabolic
conditions. We assessed whether genetic variants that are robustly associated with BMI and …

Objective Genome‐wide association studies have identified genetic variants associating
with BMI, however, it is un‐clarified whether the same variants also influence body weight …

The present study investigated whether dietary patterns could interact with fat mass and
obesity-associated (FTO) polymorphisms in relation to changes in BMI and waist …

Methods: We examined the association of a genetic risk score (GRS), consisting of 31 BMI-
associated variants, with an annual weight change (AWC) and a substantial weight gain …

Objective: Several genome–wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated that
common genetic variants contribute to obesity. However, studies of this complex trait have …

Introduction: Obesity results from an imbalance in the intake and expenditure of calories that
leads to lifestyle-related diseases. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have …

Background Genome-wide association studies have identified variants associated with BMI
in populations of European descent. We sought to establish whether genetic variants that …

Background We have previously shown that multiple genetic loci identified by genome-wide
association studies (GWAS) increase the susceptibility to obesity in a cumulative manner. It …
