<title>INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH</title>
<p id="P9">To identify genetic variants associated with birth weight, we meta-analyzed six genome-wide association (GWA) studies (N=10,623 Europeans from pregnancy/birth cohorts) and followed up two lead signals in thirteen replication studies (N=27,591). Rs900400 near
<italic>LEKR1</italic>
and
<italic>CCNL1</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>
=2×10
<sup>−35</sup>
), and rs9883204 in
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>
=7×10
<sup>−15</sup>
) were robustly associated with birth weight. Correlated SNPs in
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
were recently implicated in regulation of glucose levels and type 2 diabetes susceptibility,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
providing evidence that the well described association between lower birth weight and subsequent type 2 diabetes
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>
has a genetic component, distinct from the proposed role of programming by maternal nutrition. Using data from both SNPs, the 9% of Europeans with 4 birth weight-lowering alleles were, on average, 113g (95%CI 89-137g) lighter at birth than the 24% with 0 or 1 allele (
<italic>P
<sub>trend</sub>
</italic>
=7×10
<sup>−30</sup>
). The impact on birth weight is similar to that of a mother smoking 4-5 cigarettes per day in the third trimester of pregnancy.

<title>INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH</title>
<p id="P9">To identify genetic variants associated with birth weight, we meta-analyzed six genome-wide association (GWA) studies (N=10,623 Europeans from pregnancy/birth cohorts) and followed up two lead signals in thirteen replication studies (N=27,591). Rs900400 near
<italic>LEKR1</italic>
and
<italic>CCNL1</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>

<sup>−35</sup>
), and rs9883204 in
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>
=7×10
<sup>−15</sup>
) were robustly associated with birth weight. Correlated SNPs in
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
were recently implicated in regulation of glucose levels and type 2 diabetes susceptibility,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
providing evidence that the well described association between lower birth weight and subsequent type 2 diabetes
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>
has a genetic component, distinct from the proposed role of programming by maternal nutrition. Using data from both SNPs, the 9% of Europeans with 4 birth weight-lowering alleles were, on average, 113g (95%CI 89-137g) lighter at birth than the 24% with 0 or 1 allele (

). The impact on birth weight is similar to that of a mother smoking 4-5 cigarettes per day in the third trimester of pregnancy.

In addition, there are well-documented observational associations between lower birth weight and later life chronic disease, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and higher blood pressure.

The mechanisms underlying these associations are poorly understood. Birth weight is a complex multifactorial trait.

The importance of genetic factors acting independently of the intra-uterine environment is illustrated by correlations between paternal height or weight and offspring birth weight,

,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R9">9</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R10">10</xref>
and genetic variants that are associated both with low birth weight and increased risk of type 2 diabetes may account for some of the observed correlation between these phenotypes.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R11">11</xref>
-
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R13">13</xref>
However, the genetic loci that influence birth weight are largely unknown.</p>
<p id="P12">Birth weight may be influenced directly by fetal genotype, and also indirectly by maternal genotype operating through the intra-uterine environment. This is clearly illustrated by observations of mothers and offspring with rare, heterozygous glucokinase (
<italic>GCK</italic>
) mutations. By reducing insulin secretion, these mutations increase offspring birth weight by 600g when inherited by the mother and reduce birth weight by 530g when inherited by the fetus.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R14">14</xref>
</p>
<p id="P13">To search for common genetic variants associated with birth weight, we performed a meta-analysis of GWA studies. We reasoned that finding such variants, even those with modest effects, would lead to enhanced understanding of pathways important for fetal growth and those underlying the associations between fetal growth and adult disease.</p>
<p id="P14">We meta-analyzed association statistics from 2,427,548 directly-genotyped and imputed SNPs in singletons of European descent from six discovery GWA studies (N=10,623;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD2">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
). Birth weight (BW) was standardized to Z-scores within each study ([BW-mean]/standard deviation, SD) and adjusted for sex and gestational age. We observed SNPs at two independent loci on chromosome 3 that were associated with birth weight at, or close to, genome-wide significance (
<italic>P</italic>
<5×10
<sup>−8</sup>
;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 1</xref>
). The first locus was at 3q25, between
<italic>CCNL1</italic>
and
<italic>LEKR1</italic>
; and the second, at 3q21 in
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
(
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
). To replicate these associations, we genotyped the most strongly associated SNP from each locus (rs900400 from 3q25; rs9883204 from 3q21), or a closely-correlated proxy (HapMap r
<sup>2</sup>
=0.927-0.963), in thirteen further samples of European descent (N=27,591;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). Robust evidence of association was seen for both signals in these replication samples (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>
;
<italic>P</italic>
=3×10
<sup>−26</sup>
and 3×10
<sup>−9</sup>
, respectively). Combining all discovery and replication samples, each additional C-allele of SNP rs900400 (frequency 32-47%) was associated with a 0.086 SD lower birth weight (95%CI: 0.073-0.100; P=2×10
<sup>−35</sup>
), while each C-allele of SNP rs9883204 (frequency 71-83%) was associated with a 0.063 SD lower birth weight (95%CI: 0.047-0.079; P=7×10
<sup>−15</sup>
;
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
). These SD changes equate approximately to differences of 40g and 30g per allele, respectively (median study SD=484g). Analysis conditional on the index SNPs, rs900400 and rs9883204 did not produce any evidence for additional independent signals at either of the loci.</p>
<p id="P15">We found no evidence of heterogeneity between the studies examined (
<italic>P</italic>
>0.5;
<italic>I
<sup>2</sup>
</italic>
=0%),
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R15">15</xref>
despite differences in mean birth weight (reflecting secular and population differences in birth weight distribution;
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref>
), and the associations with birth weight were similar in males and females (
<italic>P</italic>
>0.05 for difference in effect sizes). Gestational age was not available as a covariate in three of our replication studies (combined N=6235;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
), but these studies did not introduce detectable heterogeneity, and their removal from the meta-analysis changed the results very little (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
footnote). We also assessed the effects of the two SNPs on birth weight in a limited number of non-European or admixed samples from 2 studies (N=1415 Filipino subjects from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey, and N=298-448 African descended, Moroccan and Turkish subjects from Generation R;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD3">Supplementary Tables 2</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">3</xref>
). There was no difference in the effect sizes observed relative to the European studies (
<italic>P</italic>
>0.5), but power to detect association was limited. Further well-powered studies will be needed to investigate these associations in non-Europeans.</p>
<p id="P16">Maternal and fetal genotypes are correlated due to segregation. In a previous study, an observed association between fetal
<italic>TCF7L2</italic>
genotype and birth weight was driven by the effects of maternal
<italic>TCF7L2</italic>
variation on the intra-uterine environment, rather than a direct effect on fetal growth.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>
To distinguish between these two mechanisms, we tested whether the novel birth weight associations were independent of maternal genotype. We genotyped both SNPs in all available maternal DNAs (N=9127; 5 study samples). Meta-analysis of associations between birth weight and fetal genotype, conditional on maternal genotype, yielded results which were very similar to the original associations at both loci (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4</xref>
), showing that these are direct fetal effects
<bold>.</bold>
As expected, there was no association between fetal genotype and various covariates of birth weight that were not included in our main analysis (maternal smoking, BMI, parity, education, age at delivery; all
<italic>P</italic>
>0.05; data not shown).</p>
<p id="P17">Birth weight may be influenced by skeletal growth or fat mass. In available samples, we analyzed the association between each locus and birth length, birth head circumference and ponderal index (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figures 2-4</xref>
). The association with ponderal index, relative to the birth length and head circumference associations, was particularly strong for the rs900400 SNP (0.094 SD [95%CI: 0.074-0.113] per C-allele;
<italic>P</italic>
=5×10
<sup>−21</sup>
), suggesting a greater association with fat mass than skeletal growth. For the rs9883204 SNP, the measures showed more proportionate changes (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
). We investigated associations with adult height and BMI using published GWA meta-analyses from the GIANT consortium.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R17">17</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R18">18</xref>
Only the rs900400 signal was captured in the published height data at r
<sup>2</sup>
>0.8 (since that study only included direct genotypes from the Affymetrix Genechip 500k), and there was no association (
<italic>P</italic>
=0.64; N=9818). There was no association with adult BMI for either locus (N≈32500, P>0.1). This is consistent with the weak observational association between birth weight and adult BMI,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R19">19</xref>
indicating that they are largely governed by different processes.</p>
<p id="P18">Although birth weight is a continuous trait, standard clinical cut-offs are used to identify neonates who are small for gestational age and who may require further observation. We therefore assessed whether each SNP increased the odds of gestational age-adjusted birth weight <10
<sup>th</sup>
percentile. Both loci were associated with smallness for gestational age: odds ratios (OR) 1.16 [95%CI: 1.10-1.23] (
<italic>P</italic>
=1×10
<sup>−7</sup>
) and 1.09 [1.02-1.16] (
<italic>P</italic>
=0.009) per C-allele of rs900400 and rs9883204, respectively (
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
;
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 5</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P19">The birth weight signal marked by rs900400 maps approximately 35kb 3-prime to the leucine, glutamate and lysine rich 1 (
<italic>LEKR1</italic>
) locus and 67kb 3-prime to cyclin L1 (
<italic>CCNL1</italic>
). Neither gene has previously been implicated in fetal growth. The CCNL1 protein may be involved in pre-mRNA splicing and RNA processing, and associates with cyclin-dependent kinases.
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R20">20</xref>
A non-coding RNA of unknown function, 682bp from rs900400 (AK311218, Human March 2006 Assembly 18), overlaps with the signal. We found no evidence for association at a genome-wide level (
<italic>P</italic>

<p id="P22">The associations at 3q25 and 3q21 explained 0.3% and 0.1% of the variance in birth weight, respectively. Given that estimates of the fetal genetic contribution to birth weight from twin and family studies are generally between 10 and 40%,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R30">30</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R31">31</xref>
the proportion of heritability explained may be up to ten times greater. The variance explained by the first locus is comparable to that of maternal age (0.5%). We used a weighted risk allele score to estimate the differences in birth weight attributable to combinations of birth weight-lowering alleles at both loci. The 9% of Europeans with 4 birth weight-lowering alleles were, on average, 113g (95%CI 89-137g) lighter at birth than the 24% with 0 or 1 allele (P for trend =7×10
<sup>−30</sup>
). For comparison, this effect on birth weight is similar to the impact of a mother smoking 4-5 cigarettes per day,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R4">4</xref>
and is approximately one-third of the impact of the severe malnutrition of the Dutch Famine of 1944-45, during which pregnant women consumed, on average, <1000 calories/day.

<p id="P23">To conclude, we have identified novel, robust associations between fetal genotype and birth weight at loci near

and at
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
. The causal mechanisms are not yet known, but the
<italic>ADCY5</italic>
locus has pleiotropic effects on glucose regulation and type 2 diabetes in adulthood. This is robust evidence that the widely described association between lower birth weight and subsequent type 2 diabetes has a genetic component, distinct from the proposed role of programming by maternal nutrition. Further understanding of these associations will illuminate the biological pathways important for fetal growth and its relationship with adult diseases.</p>

<p id="P24">We selected six population-based European studies with birth weight, gestational age and GWA data available by the beginning of May 2009 (combined N=10,623): the Northern Finland 1966 Birth Cohort (NFBC1966; N=4333); Netherlands Twin Register (NTR; N=414; singletons only); and sub-samples from the 1958 British Birth Cohort (B58C-WTCCC, N=1227; B58C-T1DGC, N=2037), Generation R (N=1194) and Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents And Children (ALSPAC; N=1418). The B58C-WTCCC and B58C-T1DGC were analyzed separately because they were genotyped on different platforms at different times. However, there is no systematic phenotypic difference between these sub-samples. Genotypes were obtained using high-density SNP arrays, and then imputed for ~2.4 million HapMap SNPs (Phase II, release 21/22,

<p id="P25">Multiple and preterm births (gestational age <37 weeks) were excluded from all analyses. Birth weight was transformed into a Z-score (= [value-mean]/SD) to allow comparison of the data across studies. The overall (as opposed to sex-stratified) mean and SD from each study were used to create Z-scores. The association between each SNP and birth weight was assessed in each study sample using linear regression of birth weight Z-score against genotype (additive model), with sex and gestational age as covariates. Imputed genotypes were used only where directly-assayed genotypes were unavailable. In addition to this “UNIFORM” analysis, a second analysis (“BEST”) was performed, in which the analysis details were decided within each study.

<p>Regional plots of two novel associations with birth weight. For each of the two regions, 3q25
<bold>[A]</bold>
and 3q21
<bold>[B]</bold>
, directly genotyped and imputed SNPs are plotted using filled circles with their meta-analysis P values (as −log
<sub>10</sub>
values) as a function of genomic position (NCBI Build 35). In each plot, the discovery stage SNP taken forward to replication stage is represented by a blue diamond (defining a global meta-analysis
<italic>P</italic>
value), with its discovery meta-analysis
<italic>P</italic>
value denoted by a red diamond. Local LD structure is reflected by the plotted estimated recombination rates (taken from HapMap) in the region around the associated SNPs and their correlated proxies. Each analyzed SNP is represented by circle. The colour scheme of the circles respects LD patterns (HapMap CEU pair-wise r2 correlation coefficients) between top discovery SNP and surrounding variants: white r2<0.2, grey 0.5> r2 >= 0.2, orange 0.8> r2 >= 0.5, red r2 >= 0.8. Gene annotations were taken from the University of California Santa Cruz genome browser.</p>

<p>Results are from inverse variance, fixed effects meta-analysis of all 19 study samples of European ancestry. The effect allele for each SNP is labelled on the positive strand according to HapMap. The effect is the beta coefficient (or odds ratio) for genotype, assuming an additive genetic model. If the index SNP was unavailable, this was substituted with a closely-correlated (HapMap r
