Effects of arsenic exposure on DNA methylation in cord blood samples from newborn babies and in a human lymphoblast cell line
2 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence indicates that in utero exposure to arsenic is associated with congenital defects and long-term disease consequences including cancers. Recent studies suggest that arsenic carcinogenesis results from epigenetic changes, particularly in DNA methylation. This study aimed to investigate DNA methylation changes as a result of arsenic exposure in utero and in vitro. METHODS: For the...
