Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational age

ConclusionsWe identified numerous CpGs differentially methylated in relation to gestational age at birth that appear to reflect fetal developmental processes across tissues. These findings may contribute to understanding mechanisms linking gestational age to health effects.
