Ethnic-specific association of amylase gene copy number with adiposity traits in a large Middle Eastern biobank
Abstract Studies assessing the impact of amylase genes copy number (CN) on adiposity report conflicting findings in different global populations, likely reflecting the impact of ancestral and ethnic-specific environment and lifestyle on selection at the amylase loci. Here, we leverage population siz...
