Association of maternal and nutrient supply line factors with DNA methylation at the imprinted <i>IGF2/H19</i> locus in multiple tissues of newborn twins
5 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic events are crucial for early development, but can be influenced by environmental factors, potentially programming the genome for later adverse health outcomes. The insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2)/H19 locus is crucial for prenatal growth and the epigenetic state at this locus is environmentally labile. Recent studies have implicated maternal factors, including folate intake and smoking, in the...
