Large-scale genome-wide analyses to investigate the genetic aetiology of miscarriage [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description In Australia around 25% of clinically-confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage. While up to 60% are likely due to chromosomal or structural anomalies in the developing embryo, the causes of the remainder are typically unknown. Using large-scale genome-wide analyses, we will investigate the extent to which genetic factors, in the form of genetic variants, influence miscarriage risk. If funded, this project will significantly advance our understanding of the genetic aetiology of miscarriage.
