Epigenetic signature of preterm birth in adult twins
Abstract Background Preterm birth is a leading cause of perinatal mortality and long-term health consequences. Epigenetic mechanisms may have been at play in preterm birth survivors, and these could be persistent and detrimental to health later in life. Methods We performed a genome-wide DNA methyla...
