A thrifty variant in CREBRF strongly influences body mass index in Samoans

Samoans are a unique founder population with a high prevalence of obesity(1–3), making them well suited for identifying new genetic contributors to obesity(4). We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 3,072 Samoans, discovered a variant, rs12513649, strongly associated with body mass i...
