Preferred Label : Body mass index quantitative trait locus 1;
Symbol : BMIQ1;
CISMeF acronym : BMI; BMIQ1;
Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Alternative titles and symbols : BMI; Body mass index;
Description : One quantitative trait locus (QTL) for BMI, BMIQ1, has been mapped to chromosome 7q32.2.
For additional BMI QTLs, see MAPPING section. Body mass index (BMI), which reflects
the amount of fat, lean mass, and body build, is a heterogeneous trait influenced
by both genetic and environmental factors. Several studies have estimated the heritability
of body mass index to be 40 to 55% (Bouchard et al., 1998; Rice et al., 1999).;
