Rare variant associations with birth weight identify genes involved in adipose tissue regulation, placental function and insulin-like growth factor signalling - Nature Communications An exome-wide association study for fetal and maternal rare deleterious variants affecting the normal variation in birth weight identifies nine genes involved in adipose tissue regulation, placental f...

So happy to see this published in NatComms! tinyurl.com/yc66amvu Rare variant assocs with birth weight identify 9 genes. Insights into links between earlygrowth & later metabolic health. Great collabs between teams Exe&Camb. Amazing resources of UKB & deCODE made it possible.
