Summary of replicated linkage peaks and candidate genes within 10 cM of observed linkage peaks

Region cM* Nearest Marker Published Linkage Studies for BMI Published Association Studies** Other Hypothesized Candidate Genes
Bold indicates candidate genes / SNPs hypothesized for sleep apnea phenotype; otherwise candidate genes refer to obesity related traits, per se.
Centimorgans were interpolated using an integrated map (Duffy 2006)
ACE = angiotensin I converting enzyme; ADRA2A= adrenergic, α-2A receptor; ADRB1 = adrenergic, β1 receptor; AHI = apnea hypopnea index; BMI = body mass index; CART= CART prepropeptide; CCKAR= cholecystokinin A receptor; CRHR1 = corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 1; ESR1 = estrogen receptor 1; FBAT = family based association test; FGFR1= fibroblast growth factor receptor 1; FGFR2= fibroblast growth factor receptor 2; FTO= fat mass and obesity associated; HCRTR2 = hypocretin receptor 2; HLOD = Heterogeneity logarithm of the odds of linkage; HTR1B = 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1B; IDE = insulin-degrading enzyme; LOD = logarithm of the odds of linkage; LPL = lipoprotein lipase; MCHR1 = melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1; MLS = maximum logarithm of the odds of linkage; NPL = nonparametric linkage; PPARA = peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α; PPARGC1A = peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α; SGK = serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1; SORBS1 = sorbin and SH3 domain containing 1; TSHR = thyroid stimulating hormone receptor isoform 1
