Genetic scores explain variation in birthweight that is not captured by easily measured clinical and anthropometric variables

2022-02-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Human birthweight is a complex, multifactorial trait. Maternal characteristics contribute to birthweight variation by influencing the intrauterine environment. Variation explained by genetic effects is also important, but their contributions have not been assessed alongside other key determinants. We aimed to investigate variance in birthweight explained by genetic scores in addition to easily-...
