The largest increase in prevalence has been observed among young mothers (&lt;20 years). The prevalence of <jats:italic>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/jats:italic> (CT) infection is highest among young women and has also been increasing over time. The objective was to investigate the association between immunoglobulin G antibodies to <jats:italic>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/jats:italic> (CT) (anti\u2010CT) and Chlamydial heat shock protein 60 (anti\u2010CHP60) during pregnancy, and risk of gastroschisis among offspring.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a nested case\u2013control study of 292 gastroschisis cases identified from the Congenital Malformations Register and 826 live born controls matched on age and birth year within the Finnish Maternity Cohort. Early pregnancy serum samples were used to categorize women by seropositivity to anti\u2010CT and anti\u2010CHP60. Women seronegative for anti\u2010CT and anti\u2010CHP60 served as the reference. We used conditional logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Although, the OR for seropositivity to anti\u2010CT alone was slightly elevated (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.73\u20131.94), specifically among young mothers (&lt;25 years) (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 0.81\u20133.37),
