Genetic score associations with birthweight in preterm-born infants compared with term-born infants.

Scientific reports - 26 Mar 2026

Abstract excerpt

In preterm infants, lower birthweight correlates with a higher risk of neonatal complications. Understanding the factors influencing birthweight in these infants is important as it may guide future antenatal and perinatal care. Genetic variants account for at least one-quarter of variation in birthweight in term-born infants, but the genetic contribution to birthweight in preterm infants is not well understood....
