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…

Variants in the fetal genome near pro-inflammatory cytokine genes on 2q13 associate with gestational duration
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11881-8

The duration of pregnancy is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors. Here we report a fetal genome-wide association meta-analysis of gestational duration, and early preterm, preterm, and postterm birth in 84,689 in…

Loci affecting gamma-glutamyl transferase in adults and adolescents show age × SNP interaction and cardiometabolic disease associations
Human molecular genetics ·doi:10.1093/hmg/ddr478

Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity is a marker of liver disease which is also prospectively associated with the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancers. We have discovered novel loci aff…
