5-Hydroxymethylcytosine-mediated alteration of transposon activity associated with the exposure to adversein uteroenvironments in human

Abstract excerpt

Preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are the most common clinical conditions in pregnancy that could result in adverse in utero environments. Fetal exposure to poor environments may raise the long-term risk of postnatal disorders, while epigenetic modifications could be involved. Recent research has implicated involvement of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a DNA base derived from 5-methylcytosine,...
