This study identifies how maternal diet and genetics influence the human milk metabolome, showing diet explains the most variation and uncovering genetic associations with specific metabolites.

This study links the infant gut microbiome and resistome to bacterial strains in mother's milk using metagenomic samples from mother-infant pairs.

The paper identifies genetic loci influencing milk gene expression and links these to infant gut microbiome composition in breastfeeding mothers.

The paper investigates the association between human cytomegalovirus in breast milk and milk composition, infant gut microbiome, and infant growth.

This study identifies genetic signals associated with age at menarche, highlights genes involved in pubertal development, and links reproductive timing to later life disease risk.

This study identifies CpG sites associated with BMI and shows that epigenetic BMI prediction correlates with metabolic health markers.

This study identifies DNA methylation sites associated with central adiposity traits in adults and adolescents using methylome-wide association analyses across multiple cohorts.

This study identifies 15 common and 9 low-frequency protein-coding variants associated with body fat distribution, implicating novel genes related to lipid homeostasis and type 2 diabetes.
