Lay summary

The SPRING study is a collaboration between Professor Anita Thapar (lead; Cardiff University), Professor Michael O’Donovan (Co-investigator; Cardiff University), Professor Neena Modi (Co-investigator; Imperial College/NDAU) and Dr Hilary Wong (Co-investigator; University of Cambridge). The purposes of the study are to test one hypothesis that preterm birth and neuropsychiatric disorders share the same genetic risk factors (objective 1) and to conduct a pilot investigation that will inform future large-scale studies utilising the NNRD to investigate the relationships between very preterm birth, genetics and neuropsychiatric disorders (objective 2).
