Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and IGF2 receptor gene variants are associated with fetal growth.

Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992) - 1 Mar 2007

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Normal variation in size at birth is a result of the interaction between fetal genetic factors and the maternal uterine environment. It is, however, unclear how genetic factors contribute to fetal growth. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system regulates uterine, placental and fetal development, thereby partially controlling the rate of fetal growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the...
