Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the genetic determinants of fat mass around birth. We hypothesized that the common rs9939609 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FTO is associated with fat mass and metabolic parameters in neonates. DESIGN: We conducted a cross-sectional, hospital-based study. PATIENTS: Patients included 234 full-term, healthy newborns [122 girls and 112 boys; gestational age (mean, range),...
