Common genetic variants with fetal effects on birth weight are enriched for proximity to genes implicated in rare developmental disorders

2020-07-02

Abstract excerpt

Birth weight is an important factor in newborn and infant survival, and both low and high birth weights are associated with adverse later life health outcomes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 190 loci associated with either maternal or fetal effects on birth weight. Knowledge of the underlying causal genes and pathways is crucial to understand how these loci influence birth weight, and the l...
