A fast wavelet-based functional association analysis replicates several susceptibility loci for birth weight in a Norwegian population
Denault, William Robert Paul; Romanowska, Julia; Helgeland, Øyvind; Jacobsson, Bo; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Jugessur, Astanand (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Birth weight (BW) is one of the most widely studied anthropometric traits in humans because of its role in various adult-onset diseases. The number of loci associated with BW has increased dramatically since ... -
