Birth weight variation is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors,
and has been reproducibly associated with future cardio-metabolic health outcomes. In …

OBJECTIVE To verify whether the leptin gene epigenetic (DNA methylation) profile is altered
in the offspring of mothers with gestational impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). RESEARCH …

Epigenetic misregulation is consistent with various non-Mendelian features of schizophrenia
and bipolar disorder. To date, however, few studies have investigated the role of DNA …

Objective To assess the effects of dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) DNA
methylation (DNAme) epivariation on muscular and respiratory profiles in patients with myotonic …

Background: Caloric restriction is recommended for the treatment of obesity, but it is generally
characterized by large interindividual variability in responses. The factors affecting the …

Background: Calcific aortic valve disease is characterized by an abnormal mineralization of
the aortic valve. Osteogenic activity in the aortic valve is under the control of NOTCH1, which …

Offspring exposed to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an increased risk for chronic
diseases, and one promising mechanism for fetal metabolic programming is epigenetics. …

Importance Neonates born to overweight or obese women are larger and at higher risk of
birth complications. Many maternal obesity-related traits are observationally associated with …

<p>Growing evidence suggests that epigenetic profile changes occurring during fetal
development in response to in utero environment variations could be one of the mechanisms …

Background: Prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking (prenatal smoke exposure)
had been associated with altered DNA methylation (DNAm) at birth. Objective: We examined …
