The paper conducts a multi-ancestry, trans-generational GWAS meta-analysis of gestational diabetes and glycemic traits, identifying novel loci and highlighting limited pregnancy-specific genetic effects.

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

The paper examines the effect of fetal genetic predispositions to metabolically favourable adult adiposity and BMI on birth weight and other anthropometric traits, finding stronger associations with birth weight for the adiposity alleles.

This study uses Mendelian Randomisation to show that maternal metabolically favourable adiposity is associated with lower offspring birth weight compared to general adiposity indexed by BMI.

This paper shows that using covariable-adjusted summary associations in two-sample Mendelian randomization can introduce bias, especially when there is residual confounding between the covariable and outcome.

This study identifies a genetic variant associated with AMH levels in pre-menopausal women and links AMH to reproductive lifespan.

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