GHCA was inversely associated (Spearman’s correlation, FDR-corrected P < 0.05) with BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), fasting circulating levels of triglycerides and leptin (P = 5.3e-4, 3.1e-3, 6.7e-5, 3.8e-3, 1.3e-2, 5.1e-5, respectively, FDR-corrected). This evidence concerns the gene LEP and Insulin resistance.
