Abstract excerpt
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major macrosomia risk factor. Variations in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; rs4680) genotypes are associated with heightened susceptibility to environmental exposures and nutritional conditions. However, macrosomia risks associated with COMT genetics, epigenetics, and the interaction between genetic and epigenetics among children with and without...
