Epigenetics modifiers: potential hub for understanding and treating neurodevelopmental disorders from hypoxic injury

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The fetal brain is adapted to the hypoxic conditions present during normal in utero development. Relatively more hypoxic states, either chronic or acute, are pathologic and can lead to significant long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae. In utero hypoxic injury is associated with neonatal mortality and millions of lives lived with varying degrees of disability. MAIN BODY: Genetic studies of children...
