However, whether this association persists among obese children is unknown. We aim to investigate the extent to which MetS is associated with GCF TNF-α level among obese children. %G English %Z Dr. Marie Lambert (July 1952‐February 2012), paediatric geneticist and researcher, initiated the QUALITY cohort. Her leadership and devotion to QUALITY will always be remembered and appreciated. We are also grateful to all the families that participate in the QUALITY cohort. %L pasteur-01854493 %U https://riip.hal.science/pasteur-01854493 %~ RIIP %~ INRS-IAF
