Pleiotropic genetic influence on birth weight and childhood obesity.

Scientific reports - 8 Jan 2021

Chatterjee Suvo, Ouidir Marion, Tekola-Ayele Fasil

Abstract excerpt

Childhood obesity is a global public health problem. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie early origins of childhood obesity can facilitate interventions. Consistent phenotypic and genetic correlations have been found between childhood obesity traits and birth weight (a proxy for in-utero growth), suggesting shared genetic influences (pleiotropy). We aimed to (1) investigate whether there is...
