Immune pathways and prenatal/perinatal environmental exposures contribute to epigenetic gestational age prediction and acceleration [PDF]
EpigeneticsDNA methylation (DNAm), capturing chronological gestational age (GA) and epigenetic gestational age acceleration (EGAA), can be modified by environmental exposures. The Asthma&Allergy array is a new DNAm array developed with content focused on asthma and

Gestational age and models for predicting gestational diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
MetabolomicsAbstract Introduction Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is generally identified by measuring elevated maternal glycemic responses to an oral glucose load in late pregnancy (> 0.6 term). However, our preliminary study suggests that GDM could be identified with a high predictive accuracy (96%
