Abstract

The project aims to analyze data from Module II, Project 1. We seek to evaluate the OGT protein expression level in placentas collected at birth of 900 children from the "Birth cohort of the Western Region of SP (ROC)", and the association with neonatal anthropometric data in boys and girls.
