Figure 2

Effect sizes for (a) the 32 BMI-associated SNPs identified in European ancestry populations and (b) the five BMI-associated SNPs identified in East Asian ancestry populations. The lighter shaded bars represent the effect sizes (and 95% confidence interval (CI)) in European ancestry populations [19] (in both (a) and (b)), the darker shaded bars represent the effect sizes (and 95% CI) in East Asian ancestry populations [38, 39]. Data were obtained and adapted from Wen et al. [39] and are presented in Table 1. Asterisks indicate SNPs that reached genome-wide significance in GWAS meta-analyses of East Asian ancestry populations [39]. SD, standard deviation.
