Researchers identify a link between severe pregnancy sickness and sensitivity to a hormone called GDF15. Rachel Freathy and @aliceehughes from Exeter Birth Weight Genetics Group propose this finding will prompt further interest in pregnancy-related diseases. go.nature.com/3TrtadJ

Interested in the relation between maternal BMI and pregnancy-related outcomes? Check our new paper on BMC Medicine. Very grateful to all research participants and collaborators who made this work possible pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38281920/

Of course we know BOTH mother and fetus contribute, but team fetus highlighted great work on importance of fetal insulin by @aliceehughes tinyurl.com/mrxrw35c & analyses by Robin Beaumont supporting role of fetus-mediated placental growth in preeclampsia tinyurl.com/3a3umeuy

I was very fortunate to work on this amazing project with @rbamford5 and Szi Kay Leung. Some really cool findings, including 2 putative diagnostic variants in the Genomics England 100k genomes project cohort that are in novel coding regions we identified!!

Loved remembering early GWAS days of 2006-7, being involved in FTO locus discovery as a PhD student and amazing Children of the 90s data.

🎺🎺🎺PhD opportunity! tinyurl.com/2ss844jb 👀 Great opportunity to work with a supervisory team at the Unis of Bristol and Exeter. The successful student will analyse amazing datasets to characterise metabolic profiles relating to adiposity throughout childhood

Two fantastic presentations from ExeterDiabetes team members Richard Oram and Erin Templeton on #T1D risk. In girls at age 10y risk of developing T1D dramatically reduces- ? Effect of puberty. Mothers with #t1d protect child lifelong from t1d risk vs paternal t1d. #EASD2024

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