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 29,398 individuals of South Asian ancestry. These subjects are also represented in the trans-ethnic meta-analysis dataset "GIANT 2018 BMI, Height exome chip analysis."
