Interactions between fetal HLA-DQ alleles and maternal smoking influence birthweight.

Paediatric and perinatal epidemiology - 1 Sept 2006

Taylor G Malcolm, Alexander Freda E, D'Souza Stephen W

Abstract excerpt

Maternal smoking during pregnancy inhibits fetal growth, and is a major cause of childhood and adult morbidity, including increased risks of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. However, the use of birthweight as a proxy for future smoking-related morbidity is hindered by its wide variability, suggesting a role for other birthweight-modifying factors. We report here, for the first time, that interactions between...
