Salivary epigenetic biomarkers as predictors of emerging childhood obesity

14 Feb 2020

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epigenetics could facilitate greater understanding of disparities in the emergence of childhood obesity. While blood is a common tissue used in human epigenetic studies, saliva is a promising tissue. Our prior findings in non-obese preschool-aged Hispanic children identified 17 CpG dinucleotides for which differential methylation in saliva at baseline was associated with maternal obesity status. The...
