Title of project:
Estimating the age-varying genetic association between the rs9939609 SNP at the FTO locus and body mass index (BMI)
Proposal summary:
Impact of research:
Provide guidance on methods that could be used to combine summary-level data from studies that provide summary-level data on both SNP-phenotype associations and SNP by age interactions and studies that provide summary-level data only on the SNP-phenotype association.
