Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors

Nicole M. Warrington, Robin N. Beaumont, Momoko Horikoshi, Felix R. Day, Øyvind Helgeland, Charles Laurin, Jonas Bačelis, Shouneng Peng, Ke Hao, Bjarke Feenstra, Andrew R. Wood, Anubha Mahajan, Jessica Tyrrell, Neil R. Robertson, Nigel William Rayner, , Cæcilie Trier

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

Genome-wide association study of offspring birth weight in 86,577 women highlights maternal genetic effects that are independent of fetal genetics

Robin N. Beaumont, Nicole M. Warrington, Alana Cavadino, Jessica Tyrrell, Michael Nodzenski, Momoko Horikoshi, Frank Geller, Ronny Myhre, Rebecca Claire Richmond, Lavinia Paternoster, Jonathan P. Bradfield, Eskil Kreiner‐Møller, Ville Huikari, Sarah Metrustry, Kathryn L. Lunetta, , Rachel M. Freathy

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

Maternal and fetal genetic contribution to gestational weight gain

Nicole M. Warrington, Rebecca Claire Richmond, Bjarke Feenstra, Ronny Myhre, Romy Gaillard, Lavinia Paternoster, Carol A. Wang, Robin N. Beaumont, Shikta Das, Mario Murcia, Sheila J. Barton, Ana Espinosa, Elisabeth Thiering, Mustafa Atalay, Niina Pitkänen, , Debbie A. Lawlor

This study investigates the genetic contributions to gestational weight gain, finding that maternal common variants explain about 20% of variability, while fetal variants have a minor role.

Genetic architecture of early childhood growth phenotypes gives insights into their link with later obesity

N. Maneka G. De Silva, Sylvain P Sebert, Alexessander Couto Alves, Ulla Sovio, Shikta Das, Hendrik Rob Taal, Nicole M. Warrington, Alex Lewin, Marika Kaakinen, Diana L. Cousminer, Elisabeth Thiering, Nicholas John Timpson, Ville Karhunen, Tom A. Bond, Xavier Estivill, , Marjo‐Riitta Järvelin

This study identifies genetic loci associated with early childhood growth phenotypes and links them to later adiposity traits, suggesting potential targets for obesity prevention.
