DNA methylations of MC4R and HNF4α are associated with increased triglyceride levels in cord blood of preterm infants
1 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
The association of preterm birth with obesity and metabolic syndrome later in life is well established. Although the biological mechanism for this association is poorly understood, epigenetic alterations of metabolic-related genes in early life may have important roles in metabolic dysfunction. Thus, we investigated the associations of DNA methylations of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) and hepatocyte nuclear...
