Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Purpose: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of sarcopenia unraveled the importance of genetic contribution to decline in muscle. The current study investigated sarcopenia-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Asian older adults, and further constructed a genotype score that tests the combined effect of these SNPs on risk of sarcopenia.
35 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 61 Taiwanese ancestry controls
