Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A common variant of the IGF-I gene has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The objective of this study was to examine whether this variant of the IGF-I gene is associated with blood pressure and left heart dimensions in early childhood. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This study was embedded in the Generation R Study, a population-based prospective cohort...
