Exposure to aflatoxin B <sub>1</sub> <i>in utero</i> is associated with DNA methylation in white blood cells of infants in The Gambia

7 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Exposure to environmental toxins during embryonic development may lead to epigenetic changes that influence disease risk in later life. Aflatoxin is a contaminant of staple foods in sub-Saharan Africa, is a known human liver carcinogen and has been associated with stunting in infants. METHODS: We have measured aflatoxin exposure in 115 pregnant women in The Gambia and examined the DNA methylation...
