High burden of birthweight-lowering genetic variants in Africans and Asians.

BMC medicine - 24 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Birthweight is an important predictor of infant morbidity and mortality, and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes in childhood and adulthood. Birthweight and fetal growth show regional and population variations even under similar maternal conditions, and a large proportion of these differences are not explained by environmental factors. Whether and to what extent...
