The purpose of this project is to conduct Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) to identify genetic factors associated with susceptibility to chronic noncommunicable diseases such as Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, and Osteoporosis. For this, 800.000 genetic markers (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms - SNP) will be genotyped in 864 individuals. Statistical analyzes will be per…
