The association of maternal COVID-19-infection during pregnancy on the neonatal immune profile and associations with later diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders
Despite the prevalence and significant concern of COVID-19 in maternal and offspring health, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 during pregnancy on newborn immunity and neurodevelopment. This study aimed to examine 1) the relationship between maternal COVID-19 during pregnancy and newborn immune profiles and investigate the 2) associations between specific newborn immune profiles and the risk of subsequent diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) among children with prenatal exposure to COVID-19. Newborn dried bloodspots (NBS) from 545 children born at Kaiser Permanente Northern California between January 2020 and September 2021 (460 [223 males, 237 females] to COVID-19-infected [COVID+] mothers; 85 [45 males, 40 females] to COVID-19-uninfected [COVID-] mothers) were used to profile newborn immune molecules via a 42-plex cytokine/chemokine assay. Among the 460 children born to COVID+ mothers, 73 (47 males, 27 females) were later diagnosed with an NDD. In the first set of analyses examining the association between maternal COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and newborn immune profile, the results adjusted for covariates but uncorrected for multiple comparisons showed that newborns of COVID+ mothers had significantly higher levels of IL-22 (estimate [est.] = 0.16, 95 % Cl 0.01, 0.3, p = 0.04) and GM-CSF (est. = 0.27, 95 % Cl 0.09, 0.46, p = 0.004) compared to newborns of COVID- mothers.

As an international and interdisciplinary platform, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity focuses on original research spanning neuroscience, immunology, integrative physiology, behavioral biology, psychiatry, psychology, and clinical medicine. The journal is inclusive of research conducted at various levels, including molecular, cellular, social, and whole organism perspectives. With a commitment to efficiency, the journal facilitates online submission and review, ensuring timely publication of experimental results. Manuscripts typically undergo peer review and are returned to authors within 30 days of submission. It's worth noting that Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, published eight times a year, does not impose submission fees or page charges, fostering an open and accessible platform for scientific discourse.
