      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), ...
    • 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 ...
