Genetic and Environmental Influences on Developmental Milestones and Movement: Results From the Gemini Cohort Study

Abstract: Aspects of the shared family environment appear to be important influences on motor activity levels and early milestones, although the timing of walking may have a stronger genetic influence. Further research to identify the specific environmental and genetic factors that promote early activity may be important for longer-term health outcomes.

“…Nevertheless, these mutations would not account for all the patient's extraocular phenotypes, such as developmental delay and GI disturbance. Developmental delay is multifactorial and may be explained by an additional unknown genetic variant or environmental factor ( Smith et al 2017 ). Further, we did not account for potential copy-number variants (CNVs) or gene deletions, which are known to contribute to a large percentage of hearing loss and developmental delay cases ( Cooper et al 2011 ; Perry et al 2014 ; Shearer et al 2014 ; Hladilkova et al 2015 ).…”

“…CFA for the CEBQ-T-Mex using the original six factor version of the CEBQ-T [ 10 , 15 ] showed an adequate validity (RMSEA = 0.07) [ 30 ]. Based on the study of 2402 twin pairs born in England and Wales in 2007, who first completed the BEBQ and years later the CEBQ, Herle analyzed through structural equation modelling the heritability of Emotional Overeating and found it to be very low, specifically influenced by the environment in which the child develops, mainly by parents [ 16 ].…”

“…Certain eating behavior dimensions have been associated with the development of overweight and obesity, as well as failure to thrive [ 6 ]. These can be described as genetic predispositions towards foods that interact with the environment to influence eating and weight gain [ 7 ], known as appetitive traits [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. The Behavioral Susceptibility Theory (BST), proposes that there are both genetic and environmental risks that determine the responsiveness of each individual to opportunities to eat, measured through appetitive traits [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…Studies have shown that in the early years of a child’s life, caregivers play an essential role in improving motor development in young children by being role models and by providing opportunities for movement, encouragement and support [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], as well as by reducing inappropriate behaviour, such as understimulation or passivity [ 18 , 19 ]. For example, one study shows that infants spend too much time on their backs in car seats, strollers and similar restrictive devices [ 20 ].…”
