Title of project:
Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and trajectories of cardiometabolic risk factors across childhood and adolescence
Proposal summary:
Mitochondrial DNA encodes for key functions of the mitochondria directly related to the creation of energy in the cell. Therefore, genetic variation in mitochondrial DNA could potentially be related to anthropometric and cardiovascular traits. Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups have been derived in ALSPAC and we have previously examined the association of these haplogroups with psychiatric traits.
