GNB3 and FTO Polymorphisms and Pregnancy Weight Gain in Black Women.

Biological research for nursing - 1 Jul 2015

Groth Susan W, Morrison-Beedy Dianne

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gestational weight gain (GWG) is a modifiable risk factor for obesity in women. Black women have the greatest prevalence of high body mass, which predisposes them to excessive GWG. Increased understanding of genetic influences on GWG has implications for the health of women. The purpose of this study was to explore the associations of GNB3 and FTO risk alleles in pregnant women with prepregnancy body...
