Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic determinants have an impact on adult weight but the association between genetic determinants and weight at young age is still poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the association between genetic risk scores and early growth from birth to 2 years of age. METHODS: Genetic risk scores of 83 adiposity-related or obesity-related single nucleotide polymorphisms...
