This study uses machine learning to predict preterm birth from genetic data but finds limited predictive power, with AUC around 0.57.

This study identifies genetic and proteomic factors influencing pediatric stature across life stages and links them to adult height and type 2 diabetes risk.

This study identifies 440 genes/proteins associated with atopic dermatitis severity through multi-omics analyses and highlights four with significant cross-evidence, including CEP85, which may contribute to severity via impaired phagocytosis.

The paper investigates how nulliparity affects maternal genetic effects on gestational duration and birth weight using GWAS data from a large cohort.

The paper introduces a haplotype-based method to estimate maternal and fetal genetic contributions to pregnancy outcomes, finding that gestational duration is mainly influenced by maternal haplotypes while fetal size is influenced by both maternal and paternal haplotypes.

This study identifies a genome-wide association for neonatal jaundice, revealing distinct genetic pathways compared to adult bilirubin metabolism.

This paper uses Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of smoking during pregnancy on placental weight, finding that continued smoking increases placental weight.

This study identifies 40 genetic loci associated with placental weight using GWAS in 179,025 children and parents, revealing shared and distinct genetic influences with fetal growth.

The paper identifies five genetic loci associated with postpartum hemorrhage through a meta-analysis and links them to progesterone receptor binding sites and related traits.

This study investigates the genetic control of gestational duration using 31,000 births, finding time-varying effects in many known loci and suggesting clinical relevance.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with gestational duration and preterm delivery, showing maternal and fetal genetic effects and antagonistic pleiotropy with birth weight.

This study identifies 19 genetic loci associated with gestational duration and spontaneous preterm birth, including seven novel loci, and highlights potential biological mechanisms and tissue-specific effects.

This study uses Mendelian Randomization to show that higher maternal CRP levels causally reduce gestational duration and birth weight, with some effect mediated through gestational age.

This study identifies 46 BMI loci in children aged 0-8 years, revealing age-specific effects and pathways linked to Mendelian obesity.

The paper integrates GWAS data with functional genomic annotations of decidual stromal cells to identify loci and target genes associated with gestational duration and preterm birth.

The paper optimizes run of homozygosity (ROH) calling in parent-offspring trios to study the effect of autozygosity on delivery timing, finding three maternal loci associated with reduced time-to-spontaneous delivery.

The paper uses haplotype genetic scores in mother/infant pairs to show maternal and fetal genetic effects influence gestational duration, birth outcomes, and adult phenotypes.

Wavelet Screening improves GWAS power by reducing tests and considering joint SNP effects, showing better performance than traditional methods and SKAT in simulations.

This study identifies five BMI-associated loci across 12 time points in children, highlighting transient effects of common genetic variation in the leptin signaling pathway during infancy.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with sporadic and recurrent miscarriage through large-scale association analyses and Mendelian randomization.

This study identifies a fetal genome-wide association signal near pro-inflammatory cytokine genes on 2q13 linked to gestational duration and preterm/postterm birth.

This study identifies maternal genetic variants associated with offspring birth weight using GWAS and SEM, showing independent effects from fetal genetics.

This study investigates the genetic contributions to gestational weight gain, finding that maternal common variants explain about 20% of variability, while fetal variants have a minor role.
