Adipose tissue biopsies from MZ twins discordant for BMI and from a collection of unrelated individuals are analyzed by expression array. Contrasting the differences in transcript profiles allows for the identification of putatively causative genes effecting BMI. Subsequent GWA testing of SNP variants in the identified genes allows for evaluation of genetic variation that may predispose to obesity.
