Abstract
We performed a large genome-wide association study to discover genetic variation associated with muscular strength, and to evaluate shared genetic aetiology with and causal effects of muscular strength on several health indicators. In our discovery analysis of 223,315 individuals, we identified 101 loci associated with grip strength ( P <5 × 10 −8 ). Of these, 64 were associated ( P < 0.01 and consistent direction) also in the replication...
