BMC Med . 2025 Jan; 23(1):18. PMID: 39838367
Background: Maternal stress during pregnancy may impact offspring development via changes in the intrauterine environment. However, genetic and environmental factors shared between mothers and children might skew our understanding of...

Psychol Med . 2024 Dec; :1-15. PMID: 39620474

BMC Public Health . 2024 Oct; 24(1):2930. PMID: 39438908

Psychol Med . 2024 Oct; :1-14. PMID: 39382486

Psychol Med . 2024 Sep; :1-11. PMID: 39248077
Background: Maternal vitamin-D and omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) deficiencies during pregnancy have previously been associated with offspring neurodevelopmental traits. However, observational study designs cannot distinguish causal effects from confounding. Methods:...

Genet Epidemiol . 2024 Aug; 49(1):e22583. PMID: 39099143
Genetic variants used as instruments for exposures in Mendelian randomisation (MR) analyses may have horizontal pleiotropic effects (i.e., influence outcomes via pathways other than through the exposure), which can undermine...
