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

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

The paper applies capture-recapture models to estimate undetected causal genes and markers in GWAS and proteomic studies of preterm birth.

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

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.
