ANRIL Promoter DNA Methylation: A Perinatal Marker for Later Adiposity
26 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Experimental studies show a substantial contribution of early life environment to obesity risk through epigenetic processes. We examined inter-individual DNA methylation differences in human birth tissues associated with child's adiposity. We identified a novel association between the level of CpG methylation at birth within the promoter of the long non-coding RNA ANRIL (encoded at CDKN2A) and childhood adiposity...
