GIANT is an international collaboration that seeks to identify genetic loci that modulate human body size and shape, including height and measures of obesity.
Experiment summary
These results represent a subset of the GIANT 2018 Body Fat Distribution exome chip analysis, which is a meta-analysis of genetic associations with waist-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (a measure of body fat distribution) in over 344,000 individuals across 5 ancestries.
