DNA methylation in candidate genes for handedness predicts handedness direction.

Laterality - 1 Jul 2018

Schmitz Judith, Kumsta Robert, Moser Dirk, Güntürkün Onur, Ocklenburg Sebastian

Abstract excerpt

Handedness is a complex trait influenced by both genetic and non-genetic factors. Asymmetries of DNA methylation and gene expression in the developing foetus are thought to underlie its development. However, its molecular epigenetics are not well understood. We collected buccal cells from adult left- and right-handers (n = 60) to investigate whether epigenetic biomarkers of handedness can be identified in...
