Coding Variants are Relevant to the Expression of Obesity‐Related Genes for Pediatric Adiposity

Objective Heredity has a remarkable effect on obesity in an obesogenic environment. Despite the numerous genetic variants that contribute to obesity-related traits, none has been identified in Chinese children. This study aimed to identify novel variants associated with childhood obesity in China. Methods Promising single-nucleotide variants were obtained using whole-exome sequencing from 76 children who had obesity and 74 children with normal...
