Reproduction for men and women, themselves born with low birthweight
Publisert, 2008, Swamy, Østbye, Skjaerven, JAMA, 2008 - gestational age
Birthweight and smoking (and education) Early origin to adult diseases, or confounding due to social factors? • (Birthweight and attained education) • Birthweight and smoking as an adult
Perinatal death and parental birthweight and gestational age mothers fathers Nortveit, Melve, Skjaerven; PPE 2010
Perinatal death in twins and singletons by maternal gestational age Tandberg, Melve, Nordtveit, Bjorge, Skjaerven; BJOG 2011
Are 1st births growth retarded? (published by Hypponen et al., 2004)
Background 1) First born infants (rel. 2nd and later born infants) • have more often low birthweight (or preterm) • are more often small-for-gestational-age • have higher perinatal mortality 2) There is in general strong association between maternal and offspring birthweight
Objective Is the reduced birthweight of 1st born mothers reflected in the offspring?
Breech delivery • ”Inherited” as strongly from the father (OR=2.2) as from the mother (OR=2.2) Nordtveit, Melve, Albrechtsen, Skjaerven, BMJ, 2008
Malformations • Recurrence of malformations through generations • (Recurrence of malformations between sibling)
Recurrenc of malformations between generations • Focus the recurrence of similar or dissimilar defects (25 categories of defects) • Published: • Sibling recurrence (Lie, Wilcox, Skjaerven;NEJM, 1994) • Malformations, mother to offspring (Skjaerven, Wilcox, Lie; NEJM, 1999) • Malformations, father to offspring (Lie, Wilcox, Skjaerven; JAMA, 2001)
Recurrence of malformations: siblings and generations Recurrence Risks (OR) Total Same Different • 1st to 2nd siblings: 2.5 7.6 1.7 • mother to offspring: 1.6 6.8 1.0 • father to offspring: 2.4 6.5 1.8 Attributable risks: • Affected mothers contribute to 5 out of 1000 registered birth defects in the next generation • Affected fathers contribute to 16 out of 1000
Survival of females with birth defects, compared to females without birth defects
Gestational age and generations • Magnus, Bakketeig, Skjaerven; 1993 “…low correlation between mother and offspring, r=0.086” • Lie, Wilcox,Skjaerven, 2006 ”... a fetal component that is heritable” • Wilcox, Lie, Skjaerven, 2008 ”... paternal genes have little, if any, effect on preterm delivery risk. This argues against major contributions of fetal genes inherited from either parent. The increased risk of preterm delivery among mothers born preterm is consistent with heritable maternal phenotypes that confer a propensity to deliver preterm”
Preeclampsia between generations(Skjaerven et al., BMJ, 2005) • Preeclampsia recurrence • From mother to offspring • From fathers to offspring • From unaffected sisters? • From unaffected brothers? • Independent effect of maternal and paternal birthweight? • Does the reduced birthweight of preeclampsia cases in the 1st generation give reduced birthweight also in the next generation?
