DNA methylation mediates the association between breastfeeding and early-life growth trajectories

1 Dec 2021

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The role of breastfeeding in modulating epigenetic factors has been suggested as a possible mechanism conferring its benefits on child development but it lacks evidence. Using extensive DNA methylation data from the ALSPAC child cohort, we characterized the genome-wide landscape of DNA methylation variations associated with the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and assessed whether these variations...
