New editorial from us in British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) highlights challenges for PRS-based analysis in physical activity research🤔🤔

New paper from our team re: antiseizure medications in pregnancy. Following excellent studies by Bjork JAMA Neuro and Hernandez-Diaz NEJM, we examine 3+ million pregnancies in the UK and Sweden. Amazing work led by @Pmadley_dowd Viktor H. Ahlqvist Dheeraj Rai Cecilia Magnusson !
