Persistent Changes in Stress‐Regulatory Genes in Pregnant Women or Children Exposed Prenatally to Alcohol
22 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have recently shown that binge or heavy levels of alcohol drinking increase deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation and reduce gene expression of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and period 2 (PER2) in adult human subjects (Gangisetty et al., Alcohol Clin Exp Res, 43, 2019, 212). One hypothesis would be that methylation of these 2 genes is consistently associated with alcohol exposure and could be used...
