Effect of prenatal bisphenol A exposure on early childhood body mass index through epigenetic influence on the insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) gene

Objectives: Epigenetic mechanisms have been suggested to play a role in the link between in utero exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and pediatric obesity; however, there is little evidence regarding this mechanism in humans.
