      Lee, Yunsung; Løkås Haftorn, Kristine; Denault, William Robert Paul; Nustad, Haakon Egdetveit; Page, Christian; Moen, Gunn-Helen; Magnus, Maria C.; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Harris, Jennifer R.; Magnus, Per; Håberg, Siri E.; Jugessur, Astanand; Bohlin, Jon; Lyle, Robert; Lee-Ødegård, Sindre; Groop, Leif C.; Prasad, Rashmi B.; Sletner, Line; Sommer, Christine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background Epigenetic clocks have been recognized for their precise prediction of chronological age, age-related diseases, and all-cause mortality. Existing epigenetic clocks are based on CpGs from the Illumina ...
    • DNA methylation in newborns conceived by assisted reproductive technology 

      Håberg, Siri Eldevik; Page, Christian Magnus; Lee, Yunsung; Nustad, Haakon Egdetveit; Magnus, Maria Christine; Haftorn, Kristine Løkås; Carlsen, Ellen Øen; Denault, William Robert Paul; Bohlin, Jon; Jugessur, Astanand; Magnus, Per Minor; Gjessing, Håkon Kristian; Lyle, Robert (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Assisted reproductive technology (ART) may affect fetal development through epigenetic mechanisms as the timing of ART procedures coincides with the extensive epigenetic remodeling occurring between fertilization and embryo ...
    • An EPIC predictor of gestational age and its application to newborns conceived by assisted reproductive technologies 

      Haftorn, Kristine Løkås; Lee, Yunsung; Denault, William Robert Paul; Page, Christian Magnus; Nustad, Haakon Egdetveit; Lyle, Robert; Gjessing, Håkon Kristian; Malmberg, Anni; Magnus, Maria Christine; Næss, Øyvind; Czamara, Darina; Räikkönen, Katri; Lahti, Jari; Magnus, Per Minor; Håberg, Siri Eldevik; Jugessur, Astanand; Bohlin, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background: Gestational age is a useful proxy for assessing developmental maturity, but correct estimation of gestational age is difficult using clinical measures. DNA methylation at birth has proven to be an accurate ...
    • Nucleated red blood cells explain most of the association between DNA methylation and gestational age 

      Haftorn, Kristine Løkås; Denault, William Robert Paul; Lee, Yunsung; Page, Christian Magnus; Romanowska, Julia; Lyle, Robert; Næss, Øyvind Erik; Kristjansson, Dana; Magnus, Per Minor; Håberg, Siri Eldevik; Bohlin, Jon; Jugessur, Astanand (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Determining if specific cell type(s) are responsible for an association between DNA methylation (DNAm) and a given phenotype is important for understanding the biological mechanisms underlying the association. Our EWAS of ...
    • Wavelet Screening identifies regions highly enriched for differentially methylated loci for orofacial clefts 

      Denault, William Robert Paul; Romanowska, Julia; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Lyle, Robert; Taylor, Jack A.; Xu, Zongli; Lie, Rolv T.; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Jugessur, Astanand (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      DNA methylation is the most widely studied epigenetic mark in humans and plays an essential role in normal biological processes as well as in disease development. More focus has recently been placed on understanding ...
