B994 - Association between SNPs of the IGF Axis against antenatal and postnatal growth - 28/04/2010
A manuscript has already been prepared assessing the association between SNPs of the IGF Axis and developmental growth
- 165 SNPs were tagged in Raine as being part of the IGF Axis
- 145 SNPs were used in analyses (20 SNPs were excluded for being inHWE disequilibrium, LD, not genotyped properly less than 80%, and MAF less than 10% in HapMap and Raine)
- Longitudinal analyses for antenatal measures: abdominal circumference, head circumference and ratio of head to abdominal circumference
- Cross-sectional analyses for birth weight, abdominal circumference, head circumference and ponderal index (for measurements taken at birth - on day 2 of life)
- Longitudinal analyses of BMI from year 1 to year 17
- A total of 63 SNPs (out of 145 SNPs) gave at least one significant association (p less than 0.05) with a measure of developmental growth (at birth or antenatal level)
- The following table summarises the analyses
