DNA methylation shows genome-wide association ofNFIX,RAPGEF2andMSRB3with gestational age at birth

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gestational age at birth strongly predicts neonatal, adolescent and adult morbidity and mortality through mostly unknown mechanisms. Identification of specific genes that are undergoing regulatory change prior to birth, such as through changes in DNA methylation, would increase our understanding of developmental changes occurring during the third trimester and consequences of pre-term birth (PTB)....
