Maternal BMI at the start of pregnancy and offspring epigenome-wide DNA methylation: findings from the pregnancy and childhood epigenetics (PACE) consortium

Gemma C Sharp, +103 more
TL;DR: In this article, the association between pre-pregnancy maternal BMI and methylation at over 450,000 sites in newborn blood DNA, across 19 cohorts (9,340 mother-newborn pairs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Maternal Age and Pregnancy History in Risk of Miscarriage: Prospective Register-based Study

TL;DR: Appendicectomy during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth as well as maternal and neonatal morbidity and patients should have close postoperative monitoring to detect and manage preterm labor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of DNA methylation and childhood asthma

Sarah E. Reese, +100 more
TL;DR: This article identified differential DNA methylation profiles in newborns and children related to childhood asthma, and identified differentially methylated regions in the newborns' DNA and children's DNA methylations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in neonates reveals widespread differential DNA methylation associated with birthweight

Leanne K. Küpers, +151 more
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies of 8,825 neonates from 24 birth cohorts in the Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetics Consortium was conducted, and the authors found that DNA methylation in neonatal blood is associated with birthweight at 914 sites, with a difference in birthweight ranging from -183 to 178 grams per 10% increase in methylation.
