deCODE genetics - New study on inheritance and fetal growth

Retrieved on: 
Monday, July 19, 2021

A total of 243 fetal growth variants are reported and 141 of them were grouped into four main clusters based on separating the effect of the variant on birth weight though the maternal versus fetal genome.

Key Points: 
  • A total of 243 fetal growth variants are reported and 141 of them were grouped into four main clusters based on separating the effect of the variant on birth weight though the maternal versus fetal genome.
  • Variants that associate with risk of type 2 diabetes associate with birth weight through both the maternal and fetal genomes but in opposite directions.
  • In the mother, the risk alleles correlate with higher birth weight but when in the fetus they correlate with lower birth weight.
  • The effects of the fetal, maternal and paternal genomes on birth weight were analysed and the study further includes analysis of birth length and ponderal index.
