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 dataset represents the female, European-ancestry subset of GIANT Anthropometric 2015 Waist GWAS. GWAS meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences, which reflect body fat distribution, were conducted in up to 224,459 individuals.
