- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: By focusing on anthropometric measures of central obesity and fat distribution, a meta-analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies informative for adult waist circumference and waist–hip ratio identified three loci implicated in the regulation of human adiposity.

Association between a specific apolipoprotein B mutation and familial defective apolipoprotein B-100.
