Prenatal Environmental Determinants of Aromatase Brain-Promoter Methylation in Cord Blood: Chemical, Airborne, Pharmacological, and Nutritional Factors

2026-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Aromatase, an enzyme encoded by the gene CYP19A1, plays central roles in neurodevelopment. In the brain, its function is to convert androgens into neuroestrogens, ensuring balanced hormonal signalling. Both animal experiments and human studies have shown that, in males, disruption of aromatase, either genetically or epigenetically, can increase symptoms of autism. Prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), a...
