GWAS have yielded many candidate loci for complex diseases like obesity, but interpreting the biological context of these findings has been difficult. Claussnitzer et al. (2015) use a sophisticated combination of bioinformatic and experimental approaches to address this bottleneck for variants in the FTO locus that associate with obesity.
GWAS 已经产生了许多与肥胖等复杂疾病相关的候选基因座,但解释这些发现的生物学背景一直很困难。Claussnitzer 等人(2015 年)使用生物信息学和实验方法的复杂组合,解决了与肥胖相关的 FTO 基因座变异的这一瓶颈问题。
