Significant associations between features of metabolic syndrome and human genes, for genomic regions syntenic to the SHR.BN16 differential segment and showing sequence variation between the SHR and BN-Lx parental strains. Data are based on the Catalog of Published Genome-Wide Association Studies, available at: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/ (accessed on Nov 26, 2015).
