Partitioning genetic effects on birth weight at classical human leukocyte antigen loci into indirect maternal and direct fetal components using structural equation modelling
2022-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Birth weight (BW), as a proxy for intrauterine growth, is influenced by both fetal and maternal genetic factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region in both maternal and fetal genomes have been robustly associated with BW in previous genetic association studies suggesting the involvement of classical HLA alleles in BW etiology. However, no study to date has partitioned the a...
