“…If either the mother report or antenatal records endorsed smoking in pregnancy (yes/no), the individual was assigned as a prenatal smoker. Previous work has shown that there is good agreement ( ϭ 0.806) between the 2 data sources in this sample (34). The rate of smoking during pregnancy was 6%.…”

Exposure to adversity in utero at a sensitive period of development can bring about physiological, structural, and metabolic changes in the fetus that affect later development and behavior. However, the link between prenatal environment and offspring outcomes could also arise and confound because of the relation between maternal and offspring genomes. As human studies cannot randomly assign offspring to prenatal conditions, it is difficult to test whether in utero events have true causal effects on offspring outcomes. We used an unusual approach to overcome this difficulty whereby pregnant mothers are either biologically unrelated or related to their child as a result of in vitro fertilization (IVF). In this sample, prenatal smoking reduces offspring birth weight in both unrelated and related offspring, consistent with effects arising through prenatal mechanisms independent of the relation between the maternal and offspring genomes. In contrast, the association between prenatal smoking and offspring antisocial behavior depended on inherited factors because association was only present in related mothers and offspring. The results demonstrate that this unusual prenatal cross-fostering design is feasible and informative for disentangling inherited and prenatal effects on human health and behavior. Disentangling these different effects is invaluable for pinpointing markers of prenatal adversity that have a causal effect on offspring outcomes. The origins of behavior and many common complex disorders may begin in early life, therefore this experimental design could pave the way for identifying prenatal factors that affect behavior in future generations.child ͉ psychopathology ͉ genetic ͉ antisocial behavior ͉ birth weight

“…Several studies found that maternal recall of smoking during pregnancy is reliable even 10 to 30 years later. [27][28][29][30] Parental report of SHS has been found to be reliable in some [31][32][33] and was found to be underreported in children with asthma 34 ; therefore, although recall bias is possible for in utero and SHS exposures, this may have attenuated the risk estimates because children with asthma were more likely to be in the unexposed group. This potential bias could account for the lack of significant modification of the association between Arg16Gly and asthma by smoking exposures.…”

Objective-Associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the β2-adrenergic receptor gene and asthma and wheeze have been inconsistent. Recent studies indicated that tobacco smoke affects β2-adrenergic receptor gene expression and associations of β2-adrenergic receptor gene variants with asthma in adults. We aimed to investigate the joint effects of in utero and childhood secondhand tobacco smoke exposure and 2 well-characterized functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (Arg16Gly and Glu27Gln) of β2-adrenergic receptor gene on asthma and wheezing in 3128 non-Hispanic and Hispanic white children of the Children's Health Study.Methods-We fitted logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the independent and joint effects of these single-nucleotide polymorphisms and in utero and secondhand tobacco smoke exposure on asthma and wheeze outcomes.Results-Exposures to in utero maternal smoking and secondhand tobacco smoke were associated with wheezing. Children who were homozygous for the Arg16 allele and were exposed to maternal smoking in utero were at a threefold increased risk for lifetime wheeze compared with children who were unexposed and had at least 1 Gly16 allele. We found similar joint effects of secondhand tobacco smoke and Arg16Gly with wheezing. The risk for lifetime, current, and nocturnal wheeze increased with the number of smokers at home among Arg16 homozygous children. The results were consistent in 2 cohorts of children recruited in 1993 and 1996. Diplotype-based analyses were consistent with the single-nucleotide polymorphism-specific results. No associations were found for Glu27Gln.Conclusions-Both in utero and childhood exposure to tobacco smoke were associated with an increased risk for wheeze in children, and the risks were greater for children with the Arg16Arg genotype or 2 copies of the Arg16-Gln27 diplotype. Exposures to smoking need to be taken into account when evaluating the effects of β2-adrenergic receptor gene variants on respiratory health outcomes. In ADRB2, Arg16Gly and Glu27Gln are the 2 most common nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In an in vitro study, Green et al 1 found that the Gly16 allele was more susceptible to agonist-promoted downregulation, and the Glu27 allele was resistant to agonistmediated receptor downregulation; however, subsequent ex vivo and in vivo studies provided inconsistent findings. 2 The majority of the epidemiologic studies have investigated the associations of these 2 SNPs and asthma/wheeze and found inconsistent results. In addition, meta-analyses that pooled data from these studies failed to show any significant associations with asthma; however, these authors could not rule out effects of these SNPs on asthma symptoms. [3][4][5][6] The inconsistencies across studies may have resulted from not taking into account environmental factors that could modulate the receptor activity. Tobacco smoke is 1 such factor that is associated with an increase in AHR and oxidant stress-mediated...

“…Although the effect of time span on birth weight is not as pronounced, 8,9,24 studies highlight the increased inaccuracy with length of recall on data, like gestational age 25 or breastfeeding and feeding practises. 11 In our study, time span showed no effect on the concordance of maternal reports between PQ1 and PQ2.…”

“…Previous studies have investigated the reliability of maternal reports on prenatal, perinatal and on postnatal factors, and suggest that maternal recall data are reproducible for perinatal factors, for example, birth weight, gestational age or medical procedures. 8,9 In contrast, maternal reports on prenatal factors, for example, maternal weight gain during pregnancy, 10 and early infant nutrition, for example, breastfeeding or introduction of solid food, 11,12 showed only moderate agreement or inconsistency in their reliability.Several studies indicated that other factors, for example, time span or the age of the child, have an impact on the repeatability of maternal self-reports. 11,13 Generally, a shorter time span is associated with a higher repeatability of selfreports.…”

Repeatability of maternal report on prenatal, perinatal and early postnatal factors: findings from the IDEFICS parental questionnaire

et al. 2011

Objective: To investigate the repeatability of maternal self-reported prenatal, perinatal and early postnatal factors within the IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of dietary-and lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants) study. Design: Data are from the baseline survey of the longitudinal cohort study IDEFICS in eight European countries. Subjects: A total of 420 parents from eight countries (43-61 per country) were asked to complete the parental questionnaire (PQ) twice at least 1 month apart. Measurements: The PQ assesses prenatal (maternal weight gain), perinatal (child's birth weight and length, Caesarean (C)-section, week of delivery) and early postnatal factors (exclusive breastfeeding, breastfeeding, introduction of solid food). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to compare maternal reports on prenatal, perinatal and early postnatal factors between the first and second PQ. Results: In total, 249 data sets were considered for the analyses. Overall, maternal reports for prenatal and perinatal factors showed higher repeatability (ICC ¼ 0.81-1.00, Pp0.05 for all) than those for early infant nutrition (ICC ¼ 0.33-0.88, Pp0.05 for all). Perfect agreement was found for parental reports on C-section (ICC all ¼ 1.00, Pp0.05). There was stronger agreement for duration of breastfeeding (ICC ¼ 0.71, Pp0.05) compared with exclusive breastfeeding (ICC ¼ 0.33, Pp0.05). Maternal reports showed moderate correlation for the introduction of several types of food (cereals ICC ¼ 0.64, Pp0.05; fruits ICC ¼ 0.70, Pp0.05; meat ICC ¼ 0.83, Pp0.05; vegetables ICC ¼ 0.75, Pp0.05), and high correlation (ICC ¼ 0.88, Pp0.05) for cow's milk. Conclusion: Maternal reports on pregnancy and birth were highly reproducible, but parental recall of early infant nutrition was weaker and should be interpreted more cautiously. 4 There is evidence that birth weight below and above average is associated with overweight and obesity in childhood. 5 Breastfeeding and early infant nutrition are also shown to be influencing factors on children's body weight. 6,7 In most epidemiological studies, these obesity-related factors are usually assessed by parental reports, particularly by maternal reports. Therefore, it is important to assess the quality of parental or rather maternal information within the framework of studies on childhood obesity. Previous studies have investigated the reliability of maternal reports on prenatal, perinatal and on postnatal factors, and suggest that maternal recall data are reproducible for perinatal factors, for example, birth weight, gestational age or medical procedures. 8,9 In contrast, maternal reports on prenatal factors, for example, maternal weight gain during pregnancy, 10 and early infant nutrition, for example, breastfeeding or introduction of solid food, 11,12 showed only moderate agreement or inconsistency in their reliability.Several studies indicated that other factors, for example, time span or the age of the child, have an impact on the repeatability of maternal self...
