From: Spontaneous preterm birth: the underpinnings in the maternal and fetal genomes
Only those loci which were associated with sPTB at minimally suggestive significance (P < 1 × 10−6) in discovery stage and either got replicated or functionally validated are shown in this figure. Blue circles are showing maternal genetic associations with sPTB while a red circle is showing fetal genetic association with sPTB. The pink circle is showing fetal genetic variant which was also reported to be associated with gestational age at birth while green circles are showing maternal genetic variants which were also reported to be associated with gestational age at birth. The black circle is showing the association of the maternal genetic variant with early sPTB (less than 32 weeks).
