Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in adult fat distribution. Whether these SNPs also affect abdominal and organ-specific fat accumulation in children is unknown. In a population-based prospective cohort study among 1995 children (median age: 9.8 years, 95% range 9.4–10.8), we tested the associations of six genetic risk scores based on previously identified SNPs for childhood body...
