TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity‐causing MC4R mutation at 1 in 1,100 might represent one of the commonest autosomal dominant disorders in man, and meltMADGE, suitable for mutation scanning at the population level is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal 25‐hydroxyvitamin D and its association with childhood atopic outcomes and lung function
Andrew K Wills,Seif O. Shaheen,Raquel Granell,A. J. Henderson,William D. Fraser,Debbie A Lawlor +5 more
TL;DR: The epidemiological evidence to support claims that maternal vitamin D status in pregnancy influences the risk of asthma and atopy in the offspring is conflicting and may reflect chance findings and differences in how vitamin D was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Established preeclampsia risk factors are related to patterns of blood pressure change in normal term pregnancy: findings from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
TL;DR: Established preeclampsia risk factors are associated with higher BP in early pregnancy and faster BP increases later in gestation in normal pregnancy, suggesting a continuum of risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of associations of alanine aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyltransferase with fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and glycated hemoglobin in women with and without diabetes
TL;DR: E elevation of liver enzymes and hepatic insulin resistance as reflected by fasting insulin occur in the early stages of insulin resistance and highlight the central role of the liver in insulin resistance in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Number of children and coronary heart disease risk factors in men and women from a British birth cohort
TL;DR: Examination of the association between number of children and coronary heart disease risk factors in women and men finds no clear link between children and CHD risk factors.
