Does FTO have a paradoxical effect in fetal life?

BMC genetics - 24 Dec 2014

Descamps Olivier S, Tarantino Eric, Guilmot Pierre-Francois

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Low weight at birth is associated with obesity in later life. One hypothesis to explain such an association is that genetic variants that increase the risk of obesity also reduce fetal weight. Recently, obesity in adults was found to be associated with common variants of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene. We examined the association between FTO polymorphisms and birth weight in a...
