tissue was estimated using impedance measurements, i.e., measurements of electrical resistance when an electrical current is fed through the body.
Millions of genetic variants across the genome were tested for association with distribution of fat to the arms, legs or trunk.
The researchers identified nearly a hundred genes that affect distribution of adipose tissue to the different compartments of the human body. The researchers also saw a high degree of heterogeneity between sexes.
