Genome-wide association study reveals dynamic role of genetic variation in infant and early childhood growth

Changes in body mass index (BMI) during infancy and childhood follow a well-characterized pattern. Here, Helgeland et al. perform genome-wide association studies for BMI at 12 time points between birth and 8 years of age and find transient associations at the LEP and LEPR loci.
