DNA methylation differences after exposure to prenatal famine are common and timing- and sex-specific

TL;DR: Investigation of methylation of 15 loci implicated in growth and metabolic disease in individuals who were prenatally exposed to a war-time famine in 1944-45 indicates that persistent changes in DNA methylation may be a common consequence of prenatal famine exposure and that these changes depend on the sex of the exposed individual and the gestational timing of the exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periconceptional maternal folic acid use of 400 µg per day is related to increased methylation of the IGF2 gene in the very young child.

TL;DR: Results indicate plasticity of IGF2 methylation by periconceptional folic acid use is associated with epigenetic changes in IGF2 in the child that may affect intrauterine programming of growth and development with consequences for health and disease throughout life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variation, patterns, and temporal stability of DNA methylation: considerations for epigenetic epidemiology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized features of DNA methylation at 16 candidate loci, 8 of which were imprinted, in DNA samples from the Netherlands Twin Register biobank.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heritable rather than age-related environmental and stochastic factors dominate variation in DNA methylation of the human IGF2/H19 locus

TL;DR: Variation in DNA methylation of the IGF2/H19 locus is mainly determined by heritable factors and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cis, rather than the cumulative effect of environmental and stochastic factors occurring with age.
