Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenome-wide association study of body mass index, and the adverse outcomes of adiposity

Simone Wahl, +123 more
- 05 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used epigenome-wide association to show that body mass index (BMI), a key measure of adiposity, is associated with widespread changes in DNA methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Epigenome-wide association of DNA methylation markers in peripheral blood from Indian Asians and Europeans with incident type 2 diabetes: a nested case-control study.

John C. Chambers, +84 more
TL;DR: A nested case-control study of DNA methylation in Indian Asians and Europeans with incident type 2 diabetes who were identified from the 8-year follow-up of 25 372 participants in the London Life Sciences Prospective Population study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors

Nicole M. Warrington, +245 more
- 01 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: An expanded GWAS of birth weight and subsequent analysis using structural equation modeling and Mendelian randomization decomposes maternal and fetal genetic contributions and causal links between birth weight, blood pressure and glycemic traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prenatal exposure to maternal smoking and offspring DNA methylation across the lifecourse: findings from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)

TL;DR: Investigation of associations between prenatal exposure to maternal smoking and offspring DNA methylation at multiple time points in approximately 800 mother–offspring pairs found that the major contribution to altered methylation was attributed to a critical window of in utero exposure.
