Polymorphic variants in Sweet and Umami taste receptor genes and birthweight

Abstract The first thousand days of life from conception have a significant impact on the health status with short, and long-term effects. Among several anthropometric and maternal lifestyle parameters birth weight plays a crucial role on the growth and neurological development of infants. Recent ge...
