Abstract
Please cite this paper as: Joles (2011). Crossing Borders: Linking Environmental and Genetic Developmental Factors. Microcirculation 18(4), 298–303. Abstract Besides the impact of direct environmental factors, the occurrence of non-communicable adult disease is determined by non-genetic and genetic developmental factors. The broad developmental categories, developmental programing and genetic variation are often viewed as being independent of each other. The object of this review, focusing on hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, is to identify interaction between genetic and non-genetic developmental factors influencing risk factors that can contribute to the occurrence of non-communicable adult disease.

Associations of Maternal Prepregnancy Body Mass Index and Gestational Weight Gain With Adult Offspring Cardiometabolic Risk Factors The Jerusalem Perinatal Family Follow-Up Study

TL;DR: In this paper, the associations of maternal prepregnancy body mass index (mppBMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with adult offspring adiposity, and whether these maternal attributes are related to other cardiometabolic risk factors in adulthood has not been comprehensively studied.

Fetoplacental Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction as an Early Phenomenon in the Programming of Human Adult Diseases in Subjects Born from Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or Obesity in Pregnancy

TL;DR: It is suggested that this pathological state of GDM and OP prone placental endothelium could be considered as a metabolic marker that could predict occurrence of diseases in adulthood, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome.

Early determinants of cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of multiple animal models of cardiovascular programming suggests that, in analogy to what has been previously recognised in programming, many quite different reprogramming interventions all have similar protective effects.

Cross-fostering: Elucidating the effects of gene×environment interactions on phenotypic development.

TL;DR: Cross‐fostering of litters from soon after birth until weaning is a valuable tool to study the ways in which gene × environment interactions program the development of neural, physiological and behavioral characteristics of mammalian species.

Associations of maternal pre-pregnancy and gestational body size with offspring longitudinal change in BMI.

TL;DR: In this article, the association between maternal excess weight in pregnancy and offspring BMI change from adolescence to adulthood was examined, and whether associations are explained by offspring genetics was assessed by using a birth cohort of 1400 adults, with data at birth, age 17 and 32 years.

Common genetic determinants of vitamin D insufficiency: a genome-wide association study

Thomas J. Wang, +79 more
- 17 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in 33,996 individuals of European descent from 15 cohorts was conducted to identify common genetic variants affecting vitamin D concentrations and risk of insufficiency.

Genome-wide association study of blood pressure and hypertension

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and hypertension in the CHARGE Consortium identifies 13 SNPs for SBP, 20 for DBP and 10 for hypertension at P < 4 × 10−7.

TL;DR: In this paper, the association between systolic or diastolic blood pressure and common variants in eight regions near the CYP17A1 (P = 7 × 10(-24)), CYP1A2(P = 1 × 10-23), FGF5 (P=1 × 10 -21), SH2B3(P= 3 × 10−18), MTHFR(MTHFR), c10orf107(P), ZNF652(ZNF652), PLCD3 (P,P = 5 × 10 −9),

CATs and HATs: the SLC7 family of amino acid transporters

TL;DR: Members of the CAT family transport essentially cationic amino acids by facilitated diffusion with differential trans-stimulation by intracellular substrates and may regulate the rate of NO synthesis by controlling the uptake of l-arginine as the substrate for nitric oxide synthase (NOS).
