Identifying BMI-associated genes via a genome-wide multi-omics integrative approach using summary data

Abstract

This study integrated three types of omics data and identified a group of genes that have not previously been reported to be associated with BMI. This strategy could provide new insights for future studies to identify molecular mechanisms contributing to BMI regulation.
