Association Between Birth Weight and DNA Methylation of <i>IGF2</i> , Glucocorticoid Receptor and Repetitive Elements LINE-1 and <i>Alu</i>

Abstract

While we did not detect an association between DNA methylation and birth weight, our study suggests a potential gene-epigene interaction between a T allele in the IGF2 ICR1 and methylation of ICRs of IGF2, and fetal growth.
