Alteration in methylation level at differential methylated regions of MEST and DLK1 in fetus of preeclampsia.

CONCLUSION: We conclude methylation changes at some CpG sites of MEST and DLK DMRs in preeclamptic group. This may be among the mechanisms behind the high risk of adult diseases in the later life of offspring born to preeclamptic pregnancies.
