Abstract excerpt
Much remains unknown about the genetics of immune system changes during pregnancy. We used SNP data in a pregnancy cohort to genetically investigate 47 immune biomarkers at two timepoints, along with change between timepoints (Δ). We identified 19 biomarkers with significant SNP-based heritability and 34 with genome-wide significant signals, demonstrating genetic regulation. The same biomarkers measured in early-...
