DNA methylation changes related to nutritional deprivation: a genome-wide analysis of population and in vitro data

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA methylation has recently been identified as a mediator between in utero famine exposure and a range of metabolic and psychiatric traits. However, genome-wide analyses are scarce and cross-sectional analyses are hampered by many potential confounding factors. Moreover, causal relations are hard to identify due to the lack of controlled experimental designs. In the current study, we therefore...
