Genetic determinants of low birth weight.

Minerva ginecologica - 1 Dec 2017

Mallia Theresa, Grech Alexia, Hili Abigail, Calleja-Agius Jean, Pace Nikolai P

Abstract excerpt

Birth weight depends on the elaborate interaction between maternal and fetal genotypes, placental function, maternal nutrition and lifestyle and their effect on epigenetic regulators of gene activity. The maternal environment in which the fetus develops is a critical factor in determining birth weight. This review provides an overview of the effect of several genetic variants leading to intrauterine growth...
