Common genetic variants with fetal effects on birth weight are enriched for proximity to genes implicated in rare developmental disorders
Birth weight is an important factor in newborn survival; both low and high birth weights are associated with adverse later-life health outcomes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 190 loci associated with maternal or fetal effects on birth weight. Knowledge of the underlying caus...
