Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Longitudinal growth associations with genetic variants identified for adult BMI may provide insights into the timing of obesity susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to explore associations of known BMI loci with measures of body size from birth to adulthood. DESIGN: A total of 2537 individuals from a longitudinal British birth cohort were genotyped for 11 genetic variants robustly associated...
