Our work is motivated by the search for metabolite quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a cohort of more than 5000 people. There are 158 metabolites measured by NMR spectroscopy in the 31-year follow-up of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC66). These metabolites, as with many multivariate phenotypes produced by high-throughput biomarker technology, exhibit strong correlation structures.

- Early childhood growth patterns are linked to health in adulthood, but the genetic influences and developmental stages remain unclear.
- This study uses genome-wide association studies and various analyses to explore how genetics of early growth relate to adult health, finding significant connections between child and adult body mass index (BMI).
- The research also reveals distinct genetic factors influencing peak BMI during infancy, implying different strategies may be needed for addressing childhood obesity in prevention efforts.
