    • Causal effects of maternal circulating amino acids on offspring birthweight: a Mendelian randomisation study 

      Zhao, Jian; Stewart, Isobel D.; Baird, Denis; Mason, Dan; Wright, John; Zheng, Jie; Gaunt, Tom R.; Evans, David M.; Freathy, Rachel M.; Langenberg, Claudia; Warrington, Nicole Maree; Lawlor, Deborah A.; Borges, Maria Carolina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Amino acids are key to protein synthesis, energy metabolism, cell signaling and gene expression; however, the contribution of specific maternal amino acids to fetal growth is unclear. Methods We explored the ...

      A well-functioning placenta is essential for fetal and maternal health throughout pregnancy. Using placental weight as a proxy for placental growth, we report genome-wide association analyses in the fetal (n = 65,405), ...

    • Intrauterine Growth and Offspring Neurodevelopmental Traits A Mendelian Randomization Analysis of the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) 

      D'Urso, Shannon; Moen, Gunn-Helen Øiseth; Hwang, Liang-Dar; Hannigan, Laurie John; Corfield, Elizabeth Claire; Ask, Helga; Johannson, Stefan; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Beaumont, Robin N.; Freathy, Rachel M.; Evens, David M.; Havdahl, Alexandra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Importance Conventional epidemiological analyses have suggested that lower birth weight is associated with later neurodevelopmental difficulties; however, it is unclear whether this association is causal. Objective ...

    • Investigating the causal effect of maternal vitamin B12 and folate levels on offspring birthweight 

      Moen, Gunn-Helen; Beaumont, Robin N.; Grarup, Niels; Sommer, Christine; Shields, Beverley M.; Lawlor, Debbie A.; Freathy, Rachel M.; Evans, David M.; Warrington, Nicole Maree (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Lower maternal serum vitamin B12 (B12) and folate levels have been associated with lower offspring birthweight, in observational studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this relationship is ...

    • Mendelian randomization study of maternal influences on birthweight and future cardiometabolic risk in the HUNT cohort 

      Moen, Gunn-Helen; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Willer, Cristen J.; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Birkeland, Kåre I.; Wang, Geng; Neale, Michael C.; Freathy, Rachel M.; Smith, George Davey; Lawlor, Debbie A.; Kirkpatrick, Robert M.; Warrington, Nicole Maree; Evans, David M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      There is a robust observational relationship between lower birthweight and higher risk of cardiometabolic disease in later life. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis posits that adverse ...
