Genetically-predicted placental gene expression is associated with birthweight and adult body mass index

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Elizabeth A. Jasper from the Vanderbilt Genetics InstituteVanderbilt University have published the Article: Genetically-predicted placental gene expression is associated with birthweight and adult body mass index, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: This study evaluated associations between gene_expression and body weight traits, in the context of large-scale GWAS.

SUMMARY

Birthweight z‑score gene_expression results. More than 40,000 (15.19%) of the tested expression-birthweight z-score associations had suggestive significance at the 0.05 level; however, 804 (0.30%) gene_expression results were significant after Bonferroni . . .
