Sequencing of 640,000 exomes identifies GPR75 variants associated with protection from obesity

Abstract:

Introduction

Obesity accounts for a substantial and growing burden of disease globally. Body adiposity is highly heritable, and human genetic studies can lead to biological and therapeutic insights.

Rationale

Whole-exome sequencing of hundreds of thousands of individuals is complementary to approaches used to date in obesity genetics and has the potential to identify rare protein-coding variants with large phenotypic impact. We sequenced the ex... Expand abstract
