Nat Metab. 2021 Feb;3(2):228–243. doi: 10.1038/s42255-021-00346-2. PMID: 33619380.In brief: In this genome-wide association study, the authors were able to disentangle the mechanism that uncouples adiposity from its known cardiometabolic complications. They identified 62 genomic loci, at which the same allele is associated with both higher adiposity and lower cardiometabol...
