Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prematurely born individuals are usually of low or normal weight in childhood; in adulthood, however, their probability of being overweight is twice that of persons born at full term. There is not yet any way to predict the weight development of premature babies. METHODS: A polygenic BMI score (BMI = body-mass index), calculated from the often very small individual effects of more than 2 million...
