<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>

. 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

<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

<xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>

, 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>

, 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

In this approach, the phenotypic variance is decomposed into additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and environmental sources of variation (including model error), and for sets of traits, the covariances between traits. We report narrow sense heritability (

To mark related gene sets, we first quantified significant gene sets’ pairwise overlap using a non-probabilistic version of the reconstituted gene sets and the Jaccard index measure. Groups of gene sets with mutual Jaccard indices >0.25 were subsequently referred to as meta gene sets and named by the most significant gene set in the group (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 18</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2a</xref>
). In
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figures 2a-b</xref>
, gene sets with similarities between 0.1-0.25 were connected by an edge that was scaled according to degree of similarity. The Cytoscape tool was used to construct parts of

corrections for the GWAS meta-analysis were based on all SNPs and the λ

≥ 50,000 subjects. Additional WHRadjBMI meta-analyses included Metabochip data from up to 14,371 subjects of East Asian, South Asian, or African American ancestry from eight cohorts. Counts for the meta-analyses of waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HIP), and their BMI-adjusted counterparts (WCadjBMI and HIPadjBMI) differ from those of WHRadjBMI because some cohorts only had phenotype data available for one type of body circumference measurement (see

<italic>Z</italic>
-scores representing the set of associations was scaled by row (locus name) and by column (trait) to range from −3 to 3. Negative values (blue) indicate that the waist-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI)-increasing allele was associated with decreased values of the trait and positive values (red) indicate that this allele was associated with increased values of the trait. Dendrograms indicating the clustering relationships are shown to the left and above the heat map. The WHRadjBMI-increasing alleles at the 49 lead SNPs segregate into three major clusters comprised of alleles that associate with: 1) larger waist circumference adjusted for BMI (WCadjBMI) and smaller hip circumference adjusted for BMI (HIPadjBMI) (
<italic>n</italic>
= 30 SNPs); 2) taller stature and larger WCadjBMI (
<italic>n</italic>
= 8 SNPs); and 3) shorter stature and smaller HIPadjBMI (

= 11 SNPs). The three visually identified SNP clusters could be statistically distinguished with >90% confidence. Alleles of the first cluster were predominantly associated with lower high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and with higher triglycerides and fasting insulin adjusted for BMI (FIadjBMI). eGFRcrea, estimated glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine; LDL cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; UACR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio; BMD, bone mineral density.</p>
