Additional file 1: Table S1. of Characterizing gene-gene interactions in a statistical epistasis network of twelve candidate genes for obesity

Gene categorization. Shown here are the chromosomal locations (NCBI build 36) used to assign a SNP to a gene. Chromosomal location refers to the gene’s boundaries +/− a 500 kb window around it. The number of SNPs that were categorized to each of the 12 candidate obesity genes are also shown. Known biological roles of genes were found using GeneCards database (www.genecards.org, Accessed March 31, 2015) or from the literature sources cited. (XLSX 39 kb)
