the UK Biobank should be an excellent resource for such studies, he notes.
Commenting on future avenues for further research, he says: Each genetic locus that is identified can serve as a jumping off point for future studies. We are planning to conduct functional experiments to determine the causal genes for a subset of the identified associations.
Our focus will be on genes that we can relate to adipocyte function, i.e. the cell that stores fat in the human body. The goal is to produce functi
