Journal Article
Inheritance of the amount and distribution of human body fat.
TL;DR: Study of genetic and 'cultural' transmission between generations of the body mass index, sum of six skinfold measurements, percentage of body fat, fat mass, fat-free mass, and two indicators of fat distribution consistently found that nongenetic influences are quite important in determining the amount and distribution of bodyfat in the population.
Exercise, fitness, and health: a consensus of current knowledge: proceedings of the International Conference on Exercise, fitness, and health, May 29-June 3, 1988, Toronto, Canada.

FTO: the first gene contributing to common forms of human obesity.
Ruth J. F. Loos,Claude Bouchard +1 more
TL;DR: A cluster of variants in the first intron of FTO showed a strong and highly significant association with obesity‐related traits in three independent genome‐wide association studies, a finding that has been replicated in several other studies including adults and children of European descent.
