Objective: To explore a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on human chromosome 1q affecting BMI, adiposity, and fat-free mass phenotypes in the Quebec Family Study cohort.Research Methods and Procedures: Non-parametric sibpair and variance component linkage analyses and family-based association studies were performed with a dense set of chromosome 1q43 microsatellites and single-nucleotide polymorphism markers in 885 adult individuals.Results: Linkage was observed between marker D1S184 and BMI (p = 0.0004) and with body fat mass or. percentage body fat (p
