abstract = {Many studies have shown that abdominal adiposity is more
strongly related to health risks than peripheral adiposity.
However, the underlying pathways are still poorly
understood. In this cross-sectional study using data from
RNA-sequencing experiments and whole-body MRI scans of 200
participants in the EPIC-Potsdam cohort, our aim was to
identify novel genes whose gene expression in subcutaneous
adipose tissue has an effect on body fat mass (BFM) and body
fat distribution (BFD). The analysis identified 625 genes
associated with adiposity, of which 531 encode a known
protein and 487 are novel candidate genes for obesity.
Enrichment analyses indicated that BFM-associated genes were
characterized by their higher than expected involvement in
cellular, regulatory and immune system processes, and
BFD-associated genes by their involvement in cellular,
metabolic, and regulatory processes. Mendelian Randomization
analyses suggested that the gene expression of 69 genes was
causally related to BFM and BFD. Six genes were replicated
in UK Biobank. In this study, we identified novel genes for
BFM and BFD that are BFM- and BFD-specific, involved in
different molecular processes, and whose up-/downregulated
gene expression may causally contribute to obesity.},
