Multi-ancestry, trans-generational GWAS meta-analysis of gestational diabetes and glycaemic traits during pregnancy reveals limited evidence of pregnancy-specific genetic effects

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.

Understanding Patient Perceptions of Genetic Testing to Predict Type 2 Diabetes Risk After Gestational Diabetes

This study assesses women's perceptions of genetic testing for predicting type 2 diabetes risk after gestational diabetes, finding high willingness and low data concerns, with demographic differences in acceptability and motivation.

A Genes & Health pilot recall study of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and cholestatic liver disease

This pilot study identifies British South Asians at high risk of cholestatic liver disease through genetic and phenotypic recall, finding 66.7% of participants had undetected liver disease.

BMI inadequately mediates the relationship between polygenic risk of adiposity and early onset type 2 diabetes in south Asians

This paper examines how polygenic risk scores for adiposity relate to early type 2 diabetes onset in South Asians and Europeans, finding that BMI mediates this relationship more fully in Europeans than in South Asians.

Investigating misclassification of type 1 diabetes in a population-based cohort of British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis using polygenic risk scores

This study estimates that ~6% of insulin-treated diabetic individuals with ambiguous features in British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have T1D, highlighting the need for autoantibody and C-peptide testing.

Multi-ancestry GWAS of severe pregnancy nausea and vomiting identifies risk loci associated with appetite, insulin signaling, and brain plasticity
