Genetics of early growth traits.

Human molecular genetics - 30 Sept 2020

Cousminer Diana L, Freathy Rachel M

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, genome-wide association studies have shed light on the genetics of early growth and its links with later-life health outcomes. Large-scale datasets and meta-analyses, combined with recently developed analytical methods, have enabled dissection of the maternal and fetal genetic contributions to variation in birth weight. Additionally, longitudinal approaches have shown differences between the...
