Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Over the last decade, associations between Body Mass Index (BMI) and a variety of candidate genes have been reported, but samples have almost all been limited to adults. The purpose of the present study was to test the developmental origins of some of these associations in a large longitudinal sample of children. METHODS: For 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes reported to be...
