The role of genes in growth and later health.

Nestle Nutrition workshop series. Paediatric programme - 1 Jan 2008

Eriksson Johan G

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors are of importance for the development of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, but despite extensive research the identification of the underlying genes has not been fruitful. This report focuses on the interactions between intrauterine growth and genes in relation to adult health outcomes based upon findings from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study. Candidate genes for type 2 diabetes and the...
