Navigating the epigenetic landscape of gestational age

2026-08-21

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Accurate estimation of gestational age is essential for clinical decision-making during pregnancy and is a critical indicator of both fetal development and maternal health. While traditional methods relying on the last menstrual period or ultrasound imaging provide varying levels of precision, emerging evidence suggests that DNA methylation patterns offer a powerful molecular approach for estimating gesta...
