Abstract excerpt

Height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) are partly heritable, known to be associated with chronic diseases, and are linked to circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations. IGF-I concentrations are also partly heritable and thus genetic variation at IGF1 could influence height, weight, BMI and the risk of developing chronic diseases. Our objective was to examine the association of genetic...
