Meta-analysis identifies 13 new loci associated with waist-hip ratio and reveals sexual dimorphism in the genetic basis of fat distribution
Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic
consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants …
