Association of the minor (A−) allele of the rs9939609 SNP or a proxy (r2>0.8) in the FTO gene with BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, risk of obesity, and risk of overweight in a random effects meta-analysis of up to 218,166 adults.

All models are adjusted for age and sex. Beta is the increase in trait per minor (A−) allele of rs9939609 or a proxy (r2>0.8); I2 is the heterogeneity between studies in the association of rs9939609 with the trait.1Values are beta for all rows except risk of obesity and risk of overweight, for which values are OR.NA, no data available for analysis.
