How Can Genetic Studies Help Us to Understand Links Between Birth Weight and Type 2 Diabetes?
- Abstract:
-
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In observational epidemiology, both low and high birth weights are associated with later type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms underlying the associations are poorly understood. We review evidence for the roles of genetic and non-genetic factors linking both sides of the birth weight distribution to risk of type 2 diabetes, focusing on contributions made by the most recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of birth weight.
