Parity, mode of birth, and long-term gynecological health: A follow-up study of parous and nonparous women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health cohort

Birth (Berkeley, Calif.) ·doi:10.1111/birt.12781

BACKGROUND: Although gynecological health issues are common and cause considerable distress, little is known about their causes. We examined how birth history is associated with urinary incontinence (UI), severe period pain, heavy periods, …

Genetic effects on the timing of parturition and links to fetal birth weight.

Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-023-01343-9

The timing of parturition is crucial for neonatal survival and infant health. Yet, its genetic basis remains largely unresolved. We present a maternal genome-wide meta-analysis of gestational duration (n = 195,555), identifying 22 associate…

Genetic Associations with Gestational Duration and Spontaneous Preterm Birth.

New England Journal of Medicine ·doi:10.1056/nejmoa1612665

BackgroundDespite evidence that genetic factors contribute to the duration of gestation and the risk of preterm birth, robust associations with genetic variants have not been identified. We used large data sets that included the gestational…

Genome-wide analysis identifies 12 loci influencing human reproductive behavior.

Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.3698

The genetic architecture of human reproductive behavior-age at first birth (AFB) and number of children ever born (NEB)-has a strong relationship with fitness, human development, infertility and risk of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, …
