Common variants at only two loci, FTO and MC4R, have been reproducibly associated with body mass index (BMI) in humans. To identify additional loci, we conducted meta-analysis of 15 genome-wide association studies for BMI (n > 32,000) and followed up top signals in 14 additional cohorts (n > 59,000). We strongly confirm FTO and MC4R and identify six additional loci (P < 5 x 10(-8)): TMEM18, KCTD15, GNPDA2, SH2B1, MTCH2 and NEGR1 (where a 45-kb deletion polymorphism is a candidate causal variant). Several of the likely causal genes are highly expressed or known to act in the central nervous system (CNS), emphasizing, as in rare monogenic forms of obesity, the role of the CNS in predisposition to obesity.
在人类中，仅有两个基因座（FTO和MC4R）的常见变异已被反复证实与体重指数（BMI）相关。为了识别其他基因座，我们对15项关于BMI的全基因组关联研究（样本量n>32000）进行了荟萃分析，并在另外14个队列（样本量n>59000）中对前几位的信号进行了跟进研究。我们有力地证实了FTO和MC4R基因座，并识别出另外六个基因座（P<5×10⁻⁸）：TMEM18、KCTD15、GNPDA2、SH2B1、MTCH2和NEGR1（其中一个45kb的缺失多态性是候选因果变异）。几个可能的因果基因在中枢神经系统（CNS）中高表达或已知在其中发挥作用，这正如在罕见的单基因肥胖形式中一样，强调了中枢神经系统在肥胖易感性中的作用。
