Pilot study on circulating miRNA signature in children with obesity born small for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age
29 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Children born small for gestational age (SGA) are at increased risk of metabolic dysfunction. Dysregulation of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) contributes to aberrant gene expression patterns underlying metabolic dysfunction. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine and compare circulating miRNA (c-miRNA) profile of SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) children with obesity and with normal weight, in...
