Familial confounding in the associations between maternal health and autism - Nature Medicine Using national registry data from Denmark, 30 maternal diagnoses linked to offspring autism were identified with most associations attributable to family-level factors rather than direct causal effects of maternal diagnoses.

Familial confounding in the associations between maternal health and autism www.nature.com/articles/s41... - drawing causal conclusions from observational studies is not a good idea

Wonderful collaboration with, first and foremost, Vahe Khachadourian, without whom this would have never gotten off the ground. And wonderful others at @aarhusuniint.bsky.social @mountsinainyc.bsky.social, NYU, KPNC. Special shout out to Elias Speleman Arildskov

This does not fully negate potential effects of maternal health on autism. But as currently measured, these associations can be explained without the need for causality. We show this is the case not just for an individual maternal dx, but occurs across most associations we found

Our new work shows the associations between maternal health in pregnancy and autism are attributable to familial confounding. Comprehensive atlas of these associations (>230 dx) + results from sibling comparisons + paternal negative control (DK >1.1M) tinyurl.com/3y4kafu9 @naturemedicine.bsky.social
