Fetal alleles predisposing to metabolically favourable adiposity are associated with higher birth weight

By W. Thompson and others at
LogoUniversity of Exeter
BackgroundHigher birth weight is associated with higher adult body mass index (BMI). If genetic variants can be identified with alleles that predispose to both greater fetal growth and to greater adult adiposity, such shared genetic effects might indicate biological processes important in the early patterning of adiposity. However, variants identified... Show more
