Genetic Variants Associated with Placental Abnormalities in Stillbirths

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with placental abnormalities in stillbirths by analyzing exome sequencing data from placental and fetal samples.

Maternal and offspring genome-wide association study of C-reactive protein reveals limited polygenic association with gestational diabetes mellitus

This study investigates the genetic associations of early pregnancy C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using maternal and offspring genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Early prediction of preeclampsia using the first trimester vaginal microbiome

This study predicts preeclampsia using first trimester vaginal microbiome data with machine learning, achieving an auROC of 0.78 in the training set and 0.80 in an independent cohort.

Estimation of offspring genetic risk scores using parental genotypes.

This paper estimates offspring genetic risk scores from parental DNA and finds that they can be accurately estimated with percent errors below 10% for most traits.
