Objective: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a description of a clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors in the same individual. This study searched for genetic loci associated with all five prespecified components of MetS to find a common pathophysiological link for this risk factor clustering. Methods: Using data from 291,107 individuals in the U.K. biobank, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed versus each of the five components of the syndrome as continuous variables (glucose, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, waist circumference, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol). Results: Using false discovery rate
