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 identifies genetic loci associated with gestational duration and preterm delivery, showing maternal and fetal genetic effects and antagonistic pleiotropy with birth weight.

The paper optimizes run of homozygosity (ROH) calling in parent-offspring trios to study the effect of autozygosity on delivery timing, finding three maternal loci associated with reduced time-to-spontaneous delivery.

This paper introduces a method to detect epistasis in complex traits by analyzing population differentiation at two loci, identifying novel gene interactions in pigmentation, schizophrenia, and preterm birth.

This study identifies genetic effects on birth weight and their impact on cardio-metabolic traits, distinguishing fetal and maternal contributions.

This study identifies maternal genetic variants associated with offspring birth weight using GWAS and SEM, showing independent effects from fetal genetics.
