The association between gestational vitamin D levels and offspring vitamin D receptor polymorphisms in autism-associated traits
Abstract The relationship between gestational vitamin D status and offspring autism remains inconsistent, potentially due to genetic differences in vitamin D receptor (VDR) interactions. This exploratory study examined associations between maternal serum vitamin D concentrations, offspring VDR genotypes (BsmI, Fok1, ApaI, TaqI), and autism symptomatology using the Australian Scale for Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASASC) in 192 mother–child pairs at 11-years follow-up.
BRIARWOOD | Kirkus Reviews
An inventive, immersive celebration of curiosity, courage, and learning. Calpurnia “Callie” Garcia dreams of spending a summer at selective, secretive Camp Briarwood, which is reserved for the brightest of minds. When Callie aces her Briarwood entrance exam (thanks in part to having studied the science journal belonging to her great-grandfather Teodore Gartzia, who worked with Nikola Tesla), her teacher accuses her of cheating and withholds her results from the contest.
Heart Of The Matter: Love Admissions
February 11, 2026 In order to maintain the essence of Heart of the Matter, the students who share their hearts with us will remain anonymous. Whether or not you have a reservation at Veekoo for two this Saturday is irrelevant. Unfortunately for you, Valentine’s Day is once again around the corner, and there is no escaping it. Delete Instagram to avoid the inevitable realization that everyone but you seems to be in a relationship.
Heart Of The Matter: More Than Just a Meal
At 6 a.m., the clatter of trays and hum of the industrial dishwasher begin long before most Villanova students are awake. But, for Catherine Casey, after the prep, when the morning rush comes in, it is an opportunity to connect. “Feeding you guys, it feels great,” she said with a warm smile. “Getting to know you, staying here, it really means something.” Casey is one of many staff members who keep Donahue, better known as Pit, Villanova’s central dining hall, running day after day.
Heart of the Matter: What Does NOVAdance Mean to You?
Categories: March 26, 2025 Every Villanovan knows something exciting is right around the corner. And no, we did not make March Madness. I hope I’m not the first to tell you that. The buzzing excitement and palpable thrill of campus all circles around this upcoming Saturday: NOVAdance. NOVAdance is a year-long fundraising initiative that culminates in a 12-hour dance marathon each spring.
Heart of the Matter: The Luck of the Wildcat
As someone with a St. Patrick’s Day birthday, I am convinced I was born with luck. And it is every year, as I blow out my candles, that I remember all the reasons I am lucky: friendships I can count on, a family who supports me and two places to call home. After asking Villanovans what makes them lucky, I realize maybe this place has a magic spell over it; seemingly everyone has a Leprechaun on their side.
Heart of the Matter: Happiest Day
Seven-thousand-two-hundred-fifty-eight days. That is the number of days I have been alive. An existential crisis-inducing question, as I was recently asked to calculate the number of days I have been on Earth. From that number, I had to think of my happiest day. My mind blanked and oddly enough the only answer I could think of was a moment dating 10 years ago.
Heart of the Matter: Stories in Songs
The day after my grandfather died, I exclusively listened to “Starting Over” by Chris Stapleton. I did not know what to do with my ball of grief, but I did know that there must still be beauty in the world. For me, it’s music and literature. Always, they reaffirm humanity and remind me of the joy in the world.
Heart of the Matter: Favorite Compliments
November 13, 2024 At the end of last semester, a friend of mine popped into her professor’s office hours right before she took her Amtrak train home for break. They did not have a particularly close relationship, only knowing each other for a few Monday/Wednesday 75-minute periods over three months. And yet, with a card in hand, she patiently knocked on his door. “Your willingness to go the extra mile for your students does not go unnoticed,” it read in her handwritten note on the front.
The Heart of the Matter: A Mother’s Touch
The best compliment I have ever received is that I am just like my mother. Even during my moody teenage years after bickers over curfews, I would still smile at the comparison. In honor of Parents’ Weekend, I figured there would be no better time to learn about Villanova moms.
Heart of the Matter: Friendships Made and Maintained
In an effort to get to know my fellow Villanovans, I want to take to campus each week and ask a variety of students to anonymously respond to one meaningful question. With the hope of anonymity sparking genuine and thoughtful answers, I thought I would begin with a discussion of friendship. It was a nine-year-old’s worst nightmare: soccer tryouts.

Association between maternal adversity, DNA methylation, and cardiovascular health of offspring: a longitudinal analysis of the ALSPAC cohort study
Discussion There was no evidence of an overall association between our primary CV measures in offspring and maternal adversity. There was limited evidence to suggest that subtypes of adversity or specific may be associated with CV measures in an age-specific manner as well as an association between CV measures and some CpG probes.
