Paternal contribution to birth weight.

Journal of epidemiology and community health - 1 Dec 2001

Abstract excerpt

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Understanding causes of variation in birth weight has been limited by lack of sufficient sets of data that include paternal birth weight. The objective was to estimate risks of low birth weight dependent on parental birth weights and to estimate father-mother-offspring correlations for birth weight to explain the variability in birth weight in terms of effects of genes and environmental factors....
