Racial differences in gene-specific DNA methylation levels are present at birth.

Birth defects research. Part A, Clinical and molecular teratology - 1 Aug 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA methylation patterns differ among children and adults and play an unambiguous role in several disease processes, particularly cancers. The origin of these differences is inadequately understood, and this is a question of specific relevance to childhood and adult cancer. METHODS: DNA methylation levels at 26,485 autosomal CpGs were assayed in 201 newborns (107 African American and 94 Caucasian)....
