متن کاملA putative functional polymorphism in the IGF-I gene: association studies with type 2 diabetes, adult height, glucose tolerance, and fetal growth in U.K. populations.
IGF-I has a critical role in growth and metabolism. A microsatellite polymorphism 1 kb upstream to the IGF-I gene has recently been associated with several adult phenotypes. In a large Dutch cohort, the absence of the commonest allele (Z) was associated with reduced serum IGF-I levels, reduced height, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and myocardial infarction. This result has not been r...
متن کاملType 2 Diabetes Risk Alleles Are Associated With Reduced Size at Birth
OBJECTIVE Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms underlying this association are unknown and may represent intrauterine programming or two phenotypes of one genotype. The fetal insulin hypothesis proposes that common genetic variants that reduce insulin secretion or action may predispose to type 2 diabetes and also reduce birth weight, since ins...
متن کاملGene polymorphisms, size at birth, and the development of hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
Nonoptimal fetal growth, leading to a small-for-gestational-age body size at birth, is commonly followed by compensatory growth after birth. This pattern of growth is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, especially when the compensatory phase begins around 3 to 4 years of age. Genetic factors are of major importance for the development of type 2 diabetes, but despite extensive...
متن کاملFetal and childhood growth and hypertension in adult life.
The association between low birth weight and raised blood pressure has been extensively replicated. Little is known about the way childhood growth modifies the effects of low birth weight. We report on the fetal and childhood growth of 1958 men and women who received treatment for hypertension and belong to a cohort of 7086 people born in Helsinki, Finland, during 1924-1933. As expected, the me...
