  • In genetics, maternal effects occur when an organism shows the phenotype expected from the genotype of the mother, irrespective of its own genotype, often due to the mother supplying messenger RNA or proteins to the egg. (wikipedia.org)
  • Maternal effects can also be caused by the maternal environment independent of genotype, sometimes controlling the size, sex, or behaviour of the offspring. (wikipedia.org)
  • These adaptive maternal effects lead to phenotypes of offspring that increase their fitness. (wikipedia.org)
  • It has been proposed that maternal effects are important for the evolution of adaptive responses to environmental heterogeneity. (wikipedia.org)
  • Maternal effects often occur because the mother supplies a particular mRNA or protein to the oocyte, hence the maternal genome determines whether the molecule is functional. (wikipedia.org)
  • Our results further our understanding of the responses of deciduous forest trees to rapid climate change, but more research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the observed effects of maternal warming. (ugent.be)
  • How Can Parents' Preconception Exposures and In Utero Exposures Affect a Developing Child? (cdc.gov)
  • Ova forming within a female fetus may be affected by exposures experienced by her mother during the mother's lifetime. (cdc.gov)
  • Fetal ova may also be affected by the exposures of her grandmother. (cdc.gov)
  • This is because the grandmother's exposures may have affected the mother's developing ova during the mother's fetal life. (cdc.gov)
  • Maternal supply of mRNAs to the early embryo is important, as in many organisms the embryo is initially transcriptionally inactive. (wikipedia.org)
  • According to a recent report from the CDC , 1,205 people died of maternal causes in the United States in 2021. (publichealthmdc.com)
  • Using change scores from pre- to post-intervention, in our sample of adolescents (N = 115) and maternal caregivers (N = 80) we found evidence to support our hypothesis that changes affect regulation predict changes in attachment. (auburn.edu)
  • Informal settlements in Kenya have been known to have higher rates of maternal mortality and also receive maternity services of varied quality. (frontiersin.org)
  • A new report from NCHS shows that hypertension affects almost one-third of the U.S. adult population. (cdc.gov)
  • In birds, mothers may pass down hormones in their eggs that affect an offspring's growth and behavior. (wikipedia.org)
  • Today, roughly one in ten first time mothers is now considered advanced maternal age. (evidencebasedbirth.com)
  • however, little is known about how maternal exercise modifies high fat diet associated metabolic dysregulation upon mothers during gestation. (wku.edu)
  • The current study uses data from adolescents who have been adjudicated of a sex offense and their maternal caregivers in a multi-family group intervention. (auburn.edu)
  • The present study examined how maternal vitamin A deficiency affects fetal islet development. (bath.ac.uk)
  • From a case study, the consequences of clinical listening carried through in the preliminary interviews with the mother are argued in two sources: in the implications on the route of the handling, as well as in the effect of the maternal position on the symptoms of the subject, in the scope clinical-theoretical. (bvsalud.org)
  • Vitamin A deficiency is known to affect 20 million pregnant women worldwide. (bath.ac.uk)
  • The findings explain why maternal vitamin A deficiency affects fetal islet development and support an essential role of retinoid signaling in regulating vascularized islet development. (bath.ac.uk)
  • Other maternal effect mutants either affect products that are similarly produced in the nurse cells and act in the oocyte, or parts of the transportation machinery that are required for this relocalization. (wikipedia.org)
  • Therefore, women should not be concerned about cesarean delivery having an adverse effect on their baby's gut microbiome, said Dos Santos. (medscape.com)
  • They were recruited into the Maternal Microbiome LEGACY Project from three hospitals in British Columbia. (medscape.com)
  • The bacteria living in the maternal vagina are the first microbes that vaginally delivered infants are exposed to. (medscape.com)
  • These findings were not due to a capping effect associated with limited scope for improvement in rich households. (bvsalud.org)
  • And so this maternal effect will actually occur when the offspring's phenotype is actually not determined by the offspring's genotype. (pearson.com)
  • The data from these surveys provide evidence of excessively high mortality (particularly among children), highlight the impact of ongoing violence, and underscore the need for humanitarian efforts to scale up access to treatment services in conflict-affected areas. (cdc.gov)
  • The finding comes on the heels of several epidemiological studies looking at maternal infection and autism risk. (spectrumnews.org)
  • While the response of germination and seedling phenology to maternal temperatures has been well studied for annuals and conifers, very few studies focus on deciduous trees. (ugent.be)
  • Maternal infectious diseases such as syphilis and rubella are a significant cause of birth defects in low- and middle-income countries. (who.int)
