The Human Obesity Gene Map: The 2000 Update
Louis Pérusse,Yvon C. Chagnon,S. John Weisnagel,Tuomo Rankinen,Eric E. Snyder,John Sands,Claude Bouchard +6 more
TL;DR: The obesity gene map reveals that putative loci affecting obesity-related phenotypes can be found on all chromosomes except chromosome Y, and the number of genes, markers, and chromosomal regions associated or linked with human obesity phenotypes is now above 250.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and health-related fitness in youth: a multivariate analysis.
TL;DR: There is a significant relationship between activity and health-related physical fitness, but a large part of the variability in fitness is not accounted for by physical activity as measured in this study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of heterozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment.
