About this study
Official title: A Prospective Cohort Study of the Association Between Pregnancy Health and Offspring Developmental & Behavioral Outcomes(Multi-Centered)
This topic puts forward a hypothesis: genetic and environmental factors such as major depressive disorder during pregnancy, nutritional status of vitamin A, D, E, and folic acid, intestinal microecology, and bisphenol A exposure, may affect the cognitive development level of the offspring through the genetic correlation with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental delay/intellectual disability, and major depressive disorder, allelic heterogeneity and pleiotropy of ITIH3 mediated by SNP and CACNB2, neurotransmitters like dopamine, and metabolic pathways, thereby increasing the risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and developmental delay/intellectual disability prevalence on offspring.
This topic planning from allelic heterogeneity and pleiotropy of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and major depressive disorder mediated by SNP, neurotransmitters like dopamine, and metabolic pathways, explores deeply the influences on children's development level and the risk of common neurological disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors during pregnancy, looking for reasonable prevention, early diagnosis of biomarkers and therapeutic targets, in order to provide data support for further improvement and revision of national mother and infant healthcare policy .

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This topic puts forward a hypothesis: genetic and environmental factors such as major depressive disorder during pregnancy, nutritional status of vitamin A, D, E, and folic acid, intestinal microecology, and bisphenol A exposure, may affect the cognitive development level of the offspring through the genetic correlation with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental delay/intellectual disability, and major depressive disorder, allelic heterogeneity and pleiotropy of ITIH3 mediated by SNP and CACNB2, neurotransmitters like dopamine, and metabolic pathways, thereby increasing the risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and developmental delay/intellectual disability prevalence on offspring.
This topic planning from allelic heterogeneity and pleiotropy of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and major depressive disorder mediated by SNP, neurotransmitters like dopamine, and metabolic pathways, explores deeply the influences on children's development level and the risk of common neurological disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors during pregnancy, looking for reasonable prevention, early diagnosis of biomarkers and therapeutic targets, in order to provide data support for further improvement and revision of national mother and infant healthcare policy .
Detailed description
- Technology Roadmap:①Pregnant Women:Subjects are rolled in the group. ② 21 Weeks of Gestation:Sign informed contents (mother version), test depression scale ( BDI+HAMD ), fill in the basic information questionnaire and collect 3 ml of blood of pregnant women for genetic information extraction. ③Delivery: Sign informed contents(children version), collect 1 ml of umbilical cord blood and 2ml of urine from mother. ④Physical measurements are respectively taken when a child is 3, 6, 12, 24 months old and 3, 6 years old. And the Montreal Children Hospital Feeding Scale will be also respectively completed when a child is 6 and 12 months old. What's more, the investigators plan to carry out developmental screening for the children aged 1, 2, 3 and 6, and if the developmental screening is positive, a diagnostic test then will be carried out. ⑤When children are aged 2, 3 and 6, blood samples are taken from 3 milliliters and urine from 2 milliliters, and nutrients are detected to obtain genetic information. ⑥All biological specimens will be tested for nutrient levels and some other.⑦At last, data analysis is performed on all collected information including physical measurements, feeding behavior questionnaire, all biological specimens and so on.

The GDS is taking at the age of 12 months,24 months, 36 months and 72 months respectively , evaluate a child's cognitive, language, motor and social-emotional responses in five strands: adaptation, gross motor, fine motor, language and personal-social skill, then schedule operates off what is known as an individual's developmental quotient (DQ). Diagnostic criteria: the score of DQ≥86: normal, 76-85: marginal , 55-75: mild mental retardation, 40-54: moderate mental retardation, 25-39: severe mental retardation, and ≤25 : extremely severe mental retardation.
The Vanderbilt Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnostic Rating Scale
Time frame: 72 months
The Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Rating Scale (VADRS) is for children at the age of 72 months. Scores of 2 or 3 on a single Symptom question reflect often-occurring behaviors. Scores of 4 or 5 on Performance questions reflect problems in performance. To meet the diagnosis of ADHD, one must have at least 6 positive responses to either the inattentive 9 or hyperactive 9 core symptoms, or both.
Changes in vitamin A
Time frame: 72 months
Vitamin A is measured for the mothers at first visit during 21 weeks of gestation and delivery, for the children is 24 months, 36 months and 72 months respectively. It is measured by HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry. And it is considered as Vitamin A deficiency when the concentration is below 0.70 umol/L, 0.70-1.05 umol/L is considered as marginal vitamin A deficiency, 1.05-2.56 umol/L is considered as normal range, and over 2.56 umol/L is considered as Vitamin A excess.
Changes in Vitamin D
Time frame: 72 months
Vitamin D is measured for the mothers at first visit during 21 weeks of gestation and delivery, for the children is 24 months, 36 months and 72 months respectively. It is measured by HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry. the measurement of the concentration of 25-OH-D3 as that of vitamin D. It is below 30 nmol/L considered as Vitamin D deficiency, 30-50 nmol/L considered as Vitamin D insufficiency, over 50 nmol/L considered as Vitamin D sufficiency.
Changes in Vitamin E
Time frame: 72 months
Vitamin E is measured for the mothers at first visit during 21 weeks of gestation and delivery, for the children is 24 months, 36 months and 72 months respectively. It is measured by HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry. It is normal range with the concentration of 11.6-46.4 umol/L.
Homocysteine
Time frame: delivery
Homocysteine is measured for the mothers at first visit during 21 weeks of gestation and delivery. It is measured by HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry. The concentration of homocysteine less than 11.4umol/L is normal for men and less than 10.4 umol/L for women.
Bisphenol A
