DNA methylation signatures in cord blood associated with maternal gestational weight gain: results from the ALSPAC cohort
2 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epigenetic changes could mediate the association of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with adverse offspring outcomes. However, studies in humans are lacking. Here, we examined the association of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG in different periods of pregnancy with cytosine-guanine (CpG) dinucleotide site methylation differences in newborn cord blood...
