Postnatal stability, tissue, and time specific effects of<i>AHRR</i>methylation change in response to maternal smoking in pregnancy

Abstract excerpt

The intrauterine environment has the potential to "program" the developing fetus in a way that can be potentially deleterious to later health. While in utero environmental/stochastic factors are known to influence DNA methylation profile at birth, it has been difficult to assign specific examples of epigenetic variation to specific environmental exposures. Recently, several studies have linked exposure to smoking...
