Fig 1. Associations of rs10783846 with height and limb fat mass in individuals in the LACE study.

Height and limb fat were compared in males and females possessing the minor allele for rs10783846 with those homozygous for the major allele. Median height (A, p = 0.023), arm fat mass (B, p = 0.008) and leg fat mass (C, p = 0.046) were higher in males with the minor allele than their counterparts homozygous for the major allele. However, in females there were no differences.
