Abstract excerpt
The links between preterm birth, low birth weight, and adult vascular/metabolic morbidity remain unclear. Genetic susceptibility of babies related to these three conditions might contribute to this long-term association. We tested whether the Pro12Ala polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) gene could play a role in birth weight and duration of gestation. We genotyped two...
