Newborn genome-wide DNA methylation in association with pregnancy anxiety reveals a potential role for GABBR1

Abstract Background There is increasing evidence for the role of prenatal stress in shaping offspring DNA methylation and disease susceptibility. In the current study, we aimed to identify genes and pathways associated with pregnancy anxiety using a genome-wide DNA methylation approach. Methods We s...
