Human Milk Oligosaccharides from 635 Chinese Mother-Infant Pairs

Data Sheet 1 contains results from a cross-sectional multi-center study investigating human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in Chinese mothers. The dataset includes 635 mother-infant pairs, with 24 HMOs quantified via UPLC/MS/MS and analyzed for associations with lactation stage, delivery mode, and infant eczema. The data was authored by Shan Jiang and last updated on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze HMO concentration profiles based on lactation stage mentioned in the description.
• Investigate the association between delivery mode (C-section vs. vaginal) and HMO levels.
• Model the relationship between specific HMOs (e.g., LSTb) and infant eczema risk.
• Cluster HMO data based on structural associations identified in the study.

Strengths

• Includes data from 635 mother-infant pairs, providing a substantial sample size.
• Quantifies 24 specific human milk oligosaccharides using UPLC/MS/MS methodology.
• Explicitly explores relationships with delivery mode and infant eczema, offering clear research variables.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and population bias inherent to the Chinese multi-center study design.
