<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p id="P4">Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, we conducted genome-wide association meta-analyses of waist and hip circumference-related traits in up to 224,459 individuals. We identified 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI) and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (<italic>P</italic>
<5×10<sup>−8</sup>
). Twenty of the 49 WHRadjBMI loci showed significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which displayed a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adipose tissue and for putative regulatory elements in adipocytes. Pathway analyses implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation, and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms.</p>

<abstract><p id="P4">Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, we conducted genome-wide association meta-analyses of waist and hip circumference-related traits in up to 224,459 individuals. We identified 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI) and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (<italic>P</italic>
<5×10<sup>−8</sup>
). Twenty of the 49 WHRadjBMI loci showed significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which displayed a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adipose tissue and for putative regulatory elements in adipocytes. Pathway analyses implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation, and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms.</p>

</sup>
. An easily accessible measure of body fat distribution is waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), a comparison of waist and hip circumferences. A larger WHR indicates more intra-abdominal fat deposition and is associated with higher risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease<sup><xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>

. Our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses have identified loci for WHR after adjusting for body mass index (WHRadjBMI)<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>

. These loci are enriched for association with other metabolic traits<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>

and show that different fat distribution patterns can have distinct genetic components<sup><xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>

</sup>
.</p>
<p id="P6">To further elucidate the genetic architecture of fat distribution and to increase our understanding of molecular connections with cardiometabolic traits, we performed a meta-analysis of WHRadjBMI associations in 142,762 individuals with GWAS data and 81,697 individuals genotyped with the Metabochip<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>

, all from the Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium. Given the marked sexual dimorphism previously observed among established WHRadjBMI loci<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
</sup>
, we performed analyses in men and women separately, the results of which were subsequently combined. To more fully characterize the genetic determinants of specific aspects of body fat distribution, we performed secondary GWAS meta-analyses for five additional traits: unadjusted WHR, BMI-adjusted and unadjusted waist (WCadjBMI and WC) and hip circumferences (HIPadjBMI and HIP). We evaluated the associated loci to understand their contributions to variation in fat distribution and adipose tissue biology, and their molecular links to cardiometabolic traits.</p>

<p id="P15">At the 11 WHRadjBMI loci harboring eQTLs, we compared the location of the candidate variants to regions of open chromatin (DNase I hypersensitivity and formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements [FAIRE]) and histone modification enrichment (H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and H3K9ac) in adipose, liver, skeletal muscle, bone, brain, blood, and pancreatic islet tissues or cell lines (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 17</xref>

At seven of these 11 loci, at least one variant was located in a putative regulatory element in two or more datasets from the same tissue as the eQTL, suggesting that these elements may influence transcriptional activity (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 18</xref>

highlighted signaling pathways involving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), phosphatase and tensin (PTEN) homolog, the insulin receptor, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 20</xref>

facilitated prioritization of genes at associated loci, analyses of tissue specificity, and enrichment of reconstituted gene sets through integration of association results with expression data, protein-protein interactions, phenotypic data from gene knockout studies in mice, and predefined gene sets. DEPICT identified at least one prioritized gene (false discovery rate (FDR)<5%) at nine loci (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref>
, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 21</xref>
) and identified 234 reconstituted gene sets (161 after pruning of overlapping gene sets) enriched for genes at WHRadjBMI loci. Among these we highlight biologically plausible gene sets suggesting roles in body fat regulation (including adiponectin signaling, insulin sensitivity, and regulation of glucose levels), skeletal growth, transcriptional regulation, and development (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>
, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 22</xref>
). We also note gene sets that are specific for abundance or development of metabolically active tissues including adipose, heart, liver, and muscle. Specific genes at the loci were significantly enriched (FDR<5%) for expression in adipocyte-related tissues, including abdominal subcutaneous fat (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>

<p id="P23">These meta-analyses of GWAS and Metabochip data in up to 224,459 individuals identified additional loci associated with waist and hip circumference measures and help elucidate the role of common genetic variation in body fat distribution that is distinct from BMI and height. Our results emphasize the strong sexual dimorphism in the genetic regulation of fat distribution traits, a characteristic not observed for overall obesity as assessed by BMI<sup><xref rid="R36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
</sup>
. Differences in body fat distribution between the sexes emerge in childhood, become more apparent during puberty<sup><xref rid="R40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>

, and change with menopause, generally attributed to the influence of sex hormones<sup><xref rid="R41" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
,<xref rid="R42" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
</sup>
. At loci with stronger effects in one sex than the other, these hormones may interact with transcription factors to regulate gene activity.</p>
<p id="P24">Annotation of the loci emphasized the role for mesenchymally-derived tissues, especially adipose tissue, in fat distribution and central obesity. The development and regulation of adipose tissue deposition is closely associated with angiogenesis<sup><xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
</sup>
, a process highlighted by candidate genes at several WHRadjBMI loci. These tissues are implicated in insulin resistance, consistent with the enrichment of shared GWAS signals with lipids, T2D, and glycemic traits. The identification of skeletal growth processes suggests that the underlying genes affect early development and/or differentiation of adipocytes from mesenchymal stem cells. In contrast, BMI has a significant neuronal component, involving processes such as appetite regulation<sup><xref rid="R36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>

. Our results provide a foundation for future biological research in the regulation of body fat distribution and its connections with cardiometabolic traits, and offer potential target mechanisms for interventions in the risks associated with abdominal fat accumulation.</p>
