ABSTRACT

A total of 200 pregnant women residing in Gómez Palacio, in the State of Durango, Mexico, were recruited at the General Hospital of Gómez Palacio to participate in the BEAR prospective pregnancy cohort. At birth, maternal and fetal DNA samples and birth outcome measures were collected from all mother-baby pairs as detailed previously (Rager et al., 2014, Laine et al., 2015).
