Weighted Genetic Risk Scores and Prediction of Weight Gain in Solid Organ Transplant Populations.

Weighted Genetic Risk Scores and Prediction of Weight Gain in Solid Organ Transplant Populations.

Polygenic obesity in Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) populations is considered a risk factor for the development of metabolic abnormalities and graft survival. Few studies to date have studied the genetics of weight gain in SOT recipients. We aimed to determine whether weighted genetic risk scores (w-G...
