Protein-coding and rRNA variants drive a mitochondrial DNA genotype that associates to low birth weight and is more common in individuals born after assisted reproductive technologies
2023-01-09
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Children born using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have an increased risk of a lower birth weight, the cause of which remains unclear. As a causative factor, we hypothesized that variants in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that are not associated with disease, may explain changes in birth weight. We deep-sequenced the mtDNA of 451 ART and spontaneously conceived (SC) individuals...
