Identifying genetic variants influencing maternal health (morning sickness and breastfeeding).
Proposal summary: 

Aims

The general aim of the project is to contribute to the characterization of the genetic risk factors for NVP and BF through genome wide association meta-analyses, in order identify genetic variants influencing these traits and to develop predictive models of which women are more prone to develop NVP and to breastfeed. The results of these studies will help inform the design and translation of more individualized reproductive health interventions.
