A comparison of DNA methylation in newborn blood samples from infants with and without orofacial clefts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-04)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, ... -
An EPIC predictor of gestational age and its application to newborns conceived by assisted reproductive technologies
(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 ... -
An examination of mediation by DNA methylation on birthweight differences induced by assisted reproductive technologies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Children born after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) differ in birthweight from those naturally conceived. It has been hypothesized that this might be explained by epigenetic mechanisms. We examined ... -
Gene-methylation interactions: Discovering region-wise DNA methylation levels that modify SNP-associated disease risk
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Current technology allows rapid assessment of DNA sequences and methylation levels at a single-site resolution for hundreds of thousands of sites in the human genome, in thousands of individuals simultaneously. ... -
Stability selection enhances feature selection and enables accurate prediction of gestational age using only five DNA methylation sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) is robustly associated with chronological age in children and adults, and gestational age (GA) in newborns. This property has enabled the development of several epigenetic clocks that can ...
