Introduction: Perinatal stroke can be divided into three subtypes: ischaemic stroke, either
arterial or sinovenous and haemorrhagic stroke. For the sake of universal registration and to …

Introduction: Here (and in an accompanying article dealing with definitions, differential diagnosis
and registration), a structured sequential diagnostic flow is proposed to discern clinical …

Nutrition in infancy seems to be associated with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors
in adulthood. These associations may be explained by cardiovascular developmental …

Birth weight within the normal range is associated with a variety of adult-onset diseases, but
the mechanisms behind these associations are poorly understood 1 . Previous genome-…

The pubertal height growth spurt is a distinctive feature of childhood growth reflecting both
the central onset of puberty and local growth factors. Although little is known about the …

To identify genetic variants associated with head circumference in infancy, we performed a
meta-analysis of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (N = 10,768 individuals of …

Common genetic variants have been identified for adult height, but not much is known
about the genetics of skeletal growth in early life. To identify common genetic variants that …

The FTO gene harbors variation with the strongest effect on adiposity and obesity risk.
Previous data support a role for FTO variation in influencing food intake. We conducted a …

Early childhood growth patterns are associated with adult health, yet the genetic factors and
the developmental stages involved are not fully understood. Here, we combine genome-…

An adverse fetal environment leads to smaller kidneys, with fewer nephrons, which might
predispose an individual to the development of kidney disease and hypertension in adult life. …
