      Background Isolated orofacial clefts are among the most common congenital birth defects. Although the underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unknown, clefts are thought to be complex disorders influenced by genetic, ...
    • Placental epigenetic clocks: estimating gestational age using placental DNA methylation levels 

      Lee, Yunsung; Choufani, Sanaa; Weksberg, Rosanna; Wilson, Samantha L.; Yuan, Victor; Burt, Amber; Marsit, Carmen; Lu, Ake T.; Ritz, Beate; Bohlin, Jon; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Harris, Jennifer Ruth; Magnus, Per; Binder, Alexandra M.; Robinson, Wendy P.; Jugessur, Astanand; Horvath, Steve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
