3. Fetal origins of adult disease
hypothesis
Fetal undernutrition in middle to
late gestation leads to
disproportionate fetal growth,
programmes later coronary heart
disease.
Not only coronary heart disease,
but also diabetes, obesity, stroke
and mental illness
Fetal programming Barker Hypothesis
4. Research Aims
To examine whether prospectively measured fetal growth
and intra-uterine influences are related to child
behavioral/emotional and cognitive problems
To understand mechanisms involved in the influence of
early postnatal factors on child behavioral/emotional and
cognitive problems

9. Maternal psychological distress and
fetal growth
The belief that the emotional state of the pregnant woman affects fetal
development is ancient and in all cultures
Maternal prenatal anxiety, depression, and stress related to birth
outcomes:
- spontaneous abortion and pre-eclempsia
- preterm delivery
- low birth weight
BUT
Birth outcomes are only summary measures of intrauterine growth and
cannot provide information about fetal growth
17. After controlling for several genetic and
socioeconomic status related factors, we found
little indication of an association between
intrauterine growth trajectories and temperamental
difficulties in infants.

25. Prenatal and postnatal parental psychological
symptoms and family functioning and its impact
on child behavior at age 3
Prenatal depression in mothers and fathers are
associated with child problem behavior
However, this was accounted for by postnatal
parental hostility (mothers and fathers)
Prenatal family stress was independently
associated with child problem behavior
26. The role of maternal stress during pregnancy, maternal
discipline, and the child’s compliance at 3 years

27. Conclusion
Prenatal psychological stress associated with fetal
development
Fetal development does not influence child
problem behavior
Prenatal depression associated with child behavior
through parental hostility
Prenatal family stress may indirectly affect child
development through spillover of prenatal stress
on parenting behavior

Control group Reference Reference
All values were adjusted for maternal age, maternal Body Mass Index, parity, gender of the
child, maternal educational level and ethnicity, and maternal smoking and drinking habits.
40. SSRI and risk for autistic symptoms
Maternal SSRI use associated with increased risk
for autistic symptoms
Maternal depression associated with autistic
symptoms and affective problems in the child at
ages 1,5, 3 and 6 years
Risk of autistic traits was higher in those exposed
to SSRI versus those exposed to maternal
depression only
42. Conclusion
SSRIs in pregnancy is not without a risk for foetal
development.
In particular, head growth during foetal life appeared to be
affected by prenatal exposure to SSRIs.
Therefore, when prescribing SSRI treatment to depressive
pregnant women, clinicians should carefully consider the
expected risks for the child and the benefits for the pregnant
patient.
43. Vitamin D
• There is a growing body of evidence linking gestational vitamin D deficiency
with neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and ASD
• No studies have examined the association between gestational vitamin D
deficiency and clinically diagnosed autism in general population samples.
47. Conclusion
Gestational vitamin D deficiency was
associated with two autism-related outcomes.
Because gestational vitamin D deficiency is
readily preventable with safe, cheap and
acceptable supplements, this candidate risk
factor warrants closer scrutiny.
48. Maternal thyroid hormones
Maternal thyroid hormones: a crucial role in child’s brain development
No fetal thyroid secretion before 12-14 weeks of gestation.
The fetus continues to rely on maternal thyroid hormones through the end
of pregnancy.

• Air Pollution exposure (Guxens et al., 2016, Env
Health Perspectives)

There is some evidence of associations of modifiable factors with
autistic problems in the general population for:
Vitamin D
Hypothyroxinemia
Uncertain: SSRI
No evidence: Folate, Air pollution

66. What we have learned from GenR
Large number of factors with each contributing relatively
small effects
Cumulative risk model: multiple risks are additive and
interact ( i.e. the child is at progressively greater risk,
despite the small impact any single factor is likely to have)
The most prominent factor is parental behavior (prenatal
and postnatal). Implications for intervention:
start early
