Genetic Evidence for Causal Relationships Between Maternal Obesity-Related Traits and Birth Weight. Issue 7 (July 2016) - Tyrrell, Jessica
Abstract : (Abstracted from JAMA 2016;315(11):1129–1140) Neonates born to overweight or obese women are more likely to be large for gestational age. It has been noted that maternal obesity-related traits are observationally associated with birth weight; however, the causal nature of these associations is uncertain.
