Genetic variation in metabolic phenotypes: study designs and applications

Key Points Technical advances in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy enable genome-wide screens to be carried out for the association between genetic variants and hundreds of metabolic traits in a single experiment. Metabolite concentrations are direct readouts of biological processes and can pla...
