We tested for evidence of non-additive (dominant or recessive) effects, SNP×SNP interaction effects and heterogeneity by sex or study among the 32 BMI-associated SNPs (Online Methods). We found no evidence for any such effects (P > 0.001, no significant results after correcting for multiple testing) (Supplementary Tables 1 and Supplementary Note).
