DNA Methylation in Newborns and Maternal Smoking in Pregnancy: Genome-wide Consortium Meta-analysis

Bonnie R. Joubert, +112 more
TL;DR: This large scale meta-analysis of methylation data identified numerous loci involved in response to maternal smoking in pregnancy with persistence into later childhood and provide insights into mechanisms underlying effects of this important exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paternal obesity is associated with IGF2 hypomethylation in newborns: results from a Newborn Epigenetics Study (NEST) cohort

TL;DR: The data indicate a preconceptional impact of paternal obesity on the reprogramming of imprint marks during spermatogenesis and suggest an increase in DNA methylation at the IGF2 and H19 DMRs among newborns from obese mothers, but a larger study is warranted to further explore the potential effects of maternal obesity or lifestyle on the offspring's epigenome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Newborns of obese parents have altered DNA methylation patterns at imprinted genes.

TL;DR: A significant and independent association between paternal obesity and the offspring’s methylation status suggests the susceptibility of the developing sperm for environmental insults and altered methylation outcomes at multiple imprint regulatory regions in children born to obese parents, compared with childrenBorn to non-obese parents.
Journal ArticleDOI

A paternal environmental legacy: Evidence for epigenetic inheritance through the male germ line

TL;DR: This essay suggests the existence of epigenetic windows of susceptibility to environmental insults during sperm development and suggests changes in DNA methylation, histone modification, and non‐coding RNAs are viable mechanistic candidates for a non‐genetic transfer of paternal environmental information, from maturing germ cell to zygote.
