Scientific reports 20190726 1
The aims of this study were to establish the role of MC4Rrs17782313 and ENPP1rs1044498 gene polymorphisms on pre-pregnancy BMI and the newborn's status. We performed a cross-sectional study on 185 mothers and their offspring. The groups were divided into: control group- underweight or normal mothers with BMI<sub>initial</sub> < 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (n<sub>1</sub> = 134) and study group-overweight/obese mothers with BMI<sub>initial</sub> ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (n<sub>2</sub> = 51).
