Mendelian Randomisation Study of Childhood BMI and Early Menarche by Hannah S. Mumby, Cathy E. Elks, Shengxu Li, Stephen J. Sharp, Kay-Tee Khaw, Robert N. Luben, Nicholas J. Wareham, Ruth J. F. Loos, Ken K. Ong

“…In 8,156 women of European descent from the EPIC-Norfolk cohort, height was measured at age 39–77 years; age at menarche was self-recalled, as was body weight at age 20 years, and BMI at 20 was calculated as a proxy for childhood BMI. DNA was genotyped for twelve BMI-associated common variants (in/near FTO, MC4R, TMEM18, GNPDA2, KCTD15, NEGR1, BDNF, ETV5, MTCH2, SEC16B, FAIM2 and SH2B1), and for each individual a “BMI-increasing-allele-score” was calculated by summing the number of BMI-increasing alleles across all 12 loci. …”
