Cohort profile: the Mendelian randomisation in pregnancy (MR-PREG) collaboration — improving evidence for prevention and treatment of adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.

An international Mendelian randomization collaboration on pregnancy outcomes builds infrastructure for long-term causal evidence in maternal and fetal health.

This cohort profile describes the MR-PREG international Mendelian randomization collaboration targeting pregnancy and perinatal outcomes — an infrastructure paper with significant long-term potential for generating causal evidence in obstetric public health. Not directly on watchlist but high scientific infrastructure value.
