Genes that have previously been identified as containing SNPs that are genome‐wide significantly associated with obesity‐related phenotypes (Ensembl; http://www.ensembl.org/index.html ) are labeled with a double asterisk in Table 3 , whereas those that have been observed as highly significant ( P ‐value < 9 × 10 –5 ) have a single asterisk.
