Cohort profile: the Genetics of Glucose regulation in Gestation and Growth (Gen3G) - a prospective prebirth cohort of mother-child pairs in Sherbrooke, Canada, 3-year and 5-year follow-up visits.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Initiated in 2010, the Genetics of Glucose regulation in Gestation and Growth (Gen3G) prospective cohort investigates the pathophysiology of impaired glycaemic regulation in pregnancy and evaluates its impact on both the mothers and her offspring health trajectory. Follow-up visits 3 and 5 years after delivery aimed to investigate pregnancy-related risk factors such as maternal obesity and gestational hyperglycaemia in relation to the mother's metabolic health after pregnancy, and with offspring health outcomes such as risk of obesity and neurodevelopmental problems in early childhood. We also investigated molecular mechanisms involved in the fetal programming of these later health outcomes.
