Project
Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits (GIANT) consortium Learn more >
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
This study is an analysis of genetic associations with anthropometric measures in 27,610 individuals of African American ancestry. These subjects are also represented in the trans-ethnic meta-analysis dataset "GIANT 2018 BMI, Height exome chip analysis."
