Nulliparity modifies the maternal genetic effects on gestational duration but not on birth weight

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

Genome-wide analyses of neonatal jaundice reveal a marked departure from adult bilirubin metabolism

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

Mendelian randomization study of birth weight and risk of psychiatric disorders later in life

This study investigates whether birth weight has a direct causal effect on psychiatric disorders later in life using Mendelian randomization, finding no direct causal relationship.

Genome-wide association study of placental weight in 179,025 children and parents reveals distinct and shared genetic influences between placental and fetal growth

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.

Pregnancy-Associated Bleeding and Genetics: Five Sequence Variants in the Myometrium and Progesterone Signaling Pathway are associated with postpartum hemorrhage

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.
