Body size during adulthood, but not in childhood, associates with endometriosis, specifically in the peritoneal subtype-population-based life-course data from birth to late fertile age
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1111/aogs.14090

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition causing chronic pain and infertility. Only limited data exist on body size during childhood and adolescence in affected women. A leaner body shape has been associated with endo…

Genome-wide associations for birth weight and correlations with adult disease
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature19806

Birth weight (BW) has been shown to be influenced by both fetal and maternal factors and in observational studies is reproducibly associated with future risk of adult metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular dis…

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature14132

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…
