GWAS on longitudinal growth traits reveals different genetic factors influencing infant, child, and adult BMI.

TL;DR: A robust overlap is found between the genetics of child and adult body mass index (BMI), with variants associated with adult BMI acting as early as 4 to 6 years old, and a completely distinct genetic makeup for peak BMI during infancy is demonstrated, influenced by variation at the LEPR/LEPROT locus.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine genome-wide association studies with modeling of longitudinal growth traits to study the genetics of infant and child growth, followed by functional, pathway, genetic correlation, risk score, and colocalization analyses to determine how developmental timings, molecular pathways, and genetic determinants of these traits overlap with those of adult health.
