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 examines how genetic variants linked to gestational diabetes affect maternal glucose levels during and after pregnancy, finding consistent associations with fasting glucose but varying effects on postprandial glucose.

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.

This study conducts a GWAS of preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, identifying 18 genome-wide significant loci, including novel associations with blood pressure and placental function.

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with post-term birth in Northern Finland cohorts and links some to gene expression changes.
