Variation of DNA Methylation in Newborns Associated with Exhaled Carbon Monoxide during Pregnancy

Variation of DNA Methylation in Newborns Associated with Exhaled Carbon Monoxide during Pregnancy

Fetal exposure to tobacco smoke is an adverse risk factor for newborns. A plausible mechanism of how this exposure may negatively impact long term health is differential methylation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNAm) and its relation to birth weight. We examined whether self-reported gestational smokin...
