Genetic markers of adult obesity risk are associated with greater early infancy weight gain and growth.

Genetic markers of adult obesity risk are associated with greater early infancy weight gain and growth.

<h4>Background</h4>Genome-wide studies have identified several common genetic variants that are robustly associated with adult obesity risk. Exploration of these genotype associations in children may provide insights into the timing of weight changes leading to adult obesity.<h4>Me...
