Childhood internalising symptoms at ages 3 and 6
BACKGROUND: Pre- and postpartum environments and genetic effects influence childhood internalising problems, which increase depression risk. DNA methylation (DNAm) may capture some of these effects. We therefore investigated associations between child blood DNAm and internalising problems. METHODS: We meta-analysed probe and region-level epigenome-wide association studies using data from 3 European birth cohorts (ALSPAC, MoBa, Generation R; analy…
Prenatal alcohol exposure before pregnancy awareness
Background: Many women consume alcohol while pregnant before they are aware of the pregnancy, raising concerns about potential harms to the developing fetus. Official guidelines in the United Kingdom recommend abstinence throughout pregnancy, and many women turn to online forums for reassurance and information. However, online forums can also become a source of misinformation, potentially increasing confusion and anxiety among women who have cons…
Breastfeeding and the origins of health
Breastfeeding and human milk (HM) are critically important to maternal, infant and population health. This paper summarizes the proceedings of a workshop that convened a multidisciplinary panel of researchers to identify key priorities and anticipated breakthroughs in breastfeeding and HM research, discuss perceived barriers and challenges to achieving these breakthroughs and propose a constructive action plan to maximize the impact of future res…
Alcohol Exposure In Utero and Child Academic Achievement
We examine the effect of alcohol exposure in utero on child academic achievement. As well as studying the effect of any alcohol exposure, we investigate the effect of the dose, pattern , and duration of exposure. We use a genetic variant in the maternal alcohol-metabolism gene ADH1B as an instrument for alcohol exposure, whilst controlling for the child's genotype on the same variant. We show that the instrument is unrelated to an extensive range…
O6-2.5 Alcohol and prostate cancer risk
Introduction Despite alcohol being an established carcinogen and recent prospective studies showing increased prostate cancer risk among heavy drinkers, alcohol is not an established risk factor for prostate cancer. We aimed to investigate the causal role of alcohol on prostate cancer through conventional observational epidemiology techniques and Mendelian randomisation, by using genetic variants influencing the propensity to drink or modifying t…
