Abstract excerpt
An association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and body size has been observed in infants. We hypothesized that the estradiol receptor (ER) gene is another determinant of infant growth and that the effects of the VDR and ER genotypes may interact with each other. The ER genotype (PvuII and XbaI sites), VDR genotype (BsmI site), and body size during the first 2 yr of life were analyzed in 161...
