Frontiers in endocrinology

Elks CE, den Hoed M, Zhao JH, Sharp SJ, Wareham NJ, Loos RJ, Ong KK.
PMID: 22645519
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2012 Feb 28;3:29. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2012.00029. eCollection 2012.

Evidence for a major role of genetic factors in the determination of body mass index (BMI) comes from studies of related individuals. Despite consistent evidence for a heritable component of BMI, estimates of BMI heritability vary widely between studies...
