Maternal metabolic signatures at early gestation associated with birth weight and neurodevelopment in early childhood

Maternal metabolism in early pregnancy is associated with birth weight and long-term cognitive development in offspring. As maternal metabolic profiles reflect both genetic and environmental influences, many metabolites mediate maternal influences on development and reflect sex-specific patterns in child growth.

Abstract

Maternal metabolism in early pregnancy is associated with birth weight and long-term cognitive development in offspring. As maternal metabolic profiles reflect both genetic and environmental influences, many metabolites mediate maternal influences on development and reflect sex-specific patterns in child growth.
