Genome-wide placental DNA methylations in fetal overgrowth and associations with leptin, adiponectin and fetal growth factors
1 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fetal overgrowth "programs" an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Epigenetic alterations may be a mechanism in programming the vulnerability. We sought to characterize genome-wide alterations in placental gene methylations in fetal overgrowth and the associations with metabolic health biomarkers including leptin, adiponectin and fetal growth factors. RESULTS: Comparing genome-wide...
