GWAS have demonstrated the fundamental role of genetic susceptibility in obesity risk, including the >1000 loci identified to date. Each GWAS-identified locus potentially provides novel biologic insight; yet the identification of the functional variants, genes, and underlying pathways at these loci has limited translation for pr...
