Abstract excerpt

DLK1 is a paternally expressed gene encoding a transmembrane protein belonging to the Delta-Notch signaling family, increasingly recognized for its role in fetal growth regulation. This study explores the relationship between DLK1 genetic variants (SNV) and birth weight and the potential sex-specific differences in this association. This cross-sectional study consists of a sample of 949 participants (499 males...
