Our group present two posters this afternoon at #ASHG2025!

Excited to share my poster at #ASHG2025 (Board 9173F)! Can’t wait to see everyone next week!

In addition, genetic correlation analysis suggested some evidence that maternal environmental exposures during pregnancy influence child characteristics at birth.

Additional longitudinal GWAS of BMI using Gaussian process regression identified 66 novel dynamic genetic associations along child development.

We then performed GWAS on 1,163 child health and developmental traits and parental environmental exposures, identifying 4,985 common genomic loci, of which 25% represent novel associations not previously reported.

The Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS) is a large-scale birth cohort study enrolling more than 100,000 pregnant women in 15 geographically diverse regions.

I'm delighted to present our nationwide effort to identify genetic determinants of child health and development in Japan.
