Birthweight is associated with DNA promoter methylation of the glucocorticoid receptor in human placenta

1 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Birthweight has been associated with a number of health outcomes throughout life. Crucial to proper infant growth and development is the placenta, and alterations to placental gene function may reflect differences in the intrauterine environment which functionally contribute to infant growth and may ultimately affect the child's health. To examine if epigenetic alteration to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene...
