Three common intronic variants in the maternal and fetal thiamine pyrophosphokinase gene (TPK1) are associated with birth weight.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Sept 2007

Fradin D, Bougneres P

Abstract excerpt

Extreme variations in birth weight increase immediate postnatal mortality and morbidity, and are also associated with the predisposition to metabolic diseases in late adulthood. Birth weight in humans is influenced by yet unknown genetic factors. Since the 7q34-q35 region showed linkage with birth weight in a recent human genome scan (p = 8.10(-5)), this study investigated the TPK1 (thiamine pyrophosphokinase)...
