Associations between maternal prenatal stress, methylation changes in IGF1 and IGF2, and birth weight
11 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Maternal stress has been linked to low birth weight in newborns. One potential pathway involves epigenetic changes at candidate genes that may mediate the effects of prenatal maternal stress on birth weight. This relationship has been documented in stress-related genes, such as NR3C1. There is less literature exploring the effect of stress on growth-related genes. IGF1 and IGF2 have been implicated in fetal...
