Noninvasive Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Human Fetus

TL;DR: Combining genome sequencing of two parents, genome-wide maternal haplotyping, and deep sequencing of maternal plasma DNA to noninvasively determine the genome sequence of a human fetus at 18.5 weeks of gestation hints that comprehensive, noninvasive prenatal screening for Mendelian disorders may be clinically feasible in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Late-onset sepsis in very low birth weight infants from singleton and multiple-gestation births.

TL;DR: In this paper, the incidence of late-onset sepsis and demographic and clinical characteristics associated with LOS in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants from singleton and multiple births, and examined the heritability of susceptibility to LOS among VLBW twins by comparing same-sex and unlike-sex twin pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal Contributions to Preterm Delivery

TL;DR: The substantial portion of PTD risk explained by effects passed through the female line suggests a role for either imprinting or mitochondrial inheritance.

Common variants at 12q15 and 12q24 are associated with infant head circumference

H. Rob Taal, +230 more
- 15 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: This article performed a meta-analysis of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (N = 10,768 individuals of European ancestry enrolled in pregnancy and/or birth cohorts) and followed up three lead signals in six replication studies (combined N = 19,089).

Common variants at 12q15 and 12q24 are associated with infant head circumference

H. Rob Taal, +180 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and lead signals showed suggestive evidence of association with head circumference in infancy, indicating that a common genetic variant in this region might link early brain growth with neurological disease in later life.
