Influence of genetic variants for birth weight on fetal growth and placental haemodynamics

Objective To determine the combined effect of 60 genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs), previously identified as being associated with birth weight, on fetal growth and placental haemodynamics throughout pregnancy. Design Prospective birth cohort (Generation R Study). Setting General multiethnic population. Participants 5374 singleton liveborn children with genome-wide association arrays and fetal growth data.
