Association of the 103I MC4R allele with decreased body mass in 7937 participants of two population based surveys

TL;DR: This study confirms previous findings of a meta-analysis that the relatively infrequent G/A genotype of the V103I MC4R polymorphism is negatively associated with above average weight and obesity in population based original data of 7937 participants, and extends previous findings by showing for the first time a significantly lower BMI in individuals carrying the infrequent allele of thisMC4R variant.

Genome-wide meta-analysis of common variant differences between men and women

Vesna Boraska, +126 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a large-scale genome-wide association scan (GWAS) meta-analysis across 51 studies, comprising overall 114 863 individuals (61 094 women and 53 769 men) of European ancestry and 2 623 828 common (minor allele frequency > 0.05) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
