Article Synopsis
- The Vitamin D Antenatal Asthma Reduction Trial (VDAART) studied children from 6 months to 8 years and found links between specific gene variants and children's body mass index.
- These associations also connected microbiome characteristics tied to obesity with important lipids and amino acids.
- The findings suggest that genetic factors play a role in influencing the microbiome during development and highlight potential biomarkers for childhood obesity and related health issues like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
