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 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.

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