Genetic insights into fetal growth and measures of glycaemic regulation and adiposity in adulthood: a family-based study

Genetic insights into fetal growth and measures of glycaemic regulation and adiposity in adulthood: a family-based study

Abstract Background The genetics of fetal insulin release and/or action have been suggested to affect fetal growth, adult insulin resistance and adult body composition. The genetic correlation between body composition at birth versus glycaemic regulation and body composition in adulthood have, howev...
