الملخص
Background Exclusively breastfed premature babies have been shown to have higher
intelligent quotient scores and superior cognitive development than those deprived of
human milk. However the underlying cause has not been clearly defined. Aim The aim of
this study is to measure genetic expression of FADS2 gene responsible for cognition in
babies exposed to different modes of feeding. Methods Thirty preterm babies were studied
for gene expression of FADS2 at birth and three months later.
