Title of project: 
Trajectories of Weight and Obesity From Birth to Adulthood According to Polygenic Susceptibility
Proposal summary: 

We want to quantify what the impact of genetics across the whole genome has on weight and risk of severe obesity from birth to middle adulthood.

Impact of research: 
We may determine whether inborn polygenic susceptibility to increased weight and severe obesity manifests itself starting in early childhood and has substantial impact extending into middle age.
