Modelling BMI Trajectories in Children for Genetic Association Studies
Figure 2
Distribution of obesity-risk allele score, with error bars for mean BMI at age 14 years.
The obesity-risk-allele score incorporates genotypes from 17 loci (FTO, MC4R, TMEM18, GNPDA2, KCTD15, NEGR1, BDNF, ETV5, SEC16B, LYPLAL1, TFAP2B, MTCH2, BCDIN3D, NRXN3, SH2B1, and MRSA) in the 1,219 individuals from the Raine study with complete genetic data. The error bars display the mean (95% CI) BMI at age 14 years (the largest follow-up in adolescence) for each risk-allele score.
