Genetic origins of low birth weight.

Current opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care - 1 May 2012

Yaghootkar Hanieh, Freathy Rachel M

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Smaller size at birth is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes in later life, but the mechanisms behind this association are poorly understood. Genetic variants which influence susceptibility to type 2 diabetes via effects on insulin secretion or action are good candidates for association with birth weight because foetal insulin is a key foetal growth factor. This review will focus...
