REVIEW: The authors propose a need for larger, coordinated studies, and meta-analyses of cohorts, to elucidate relationships between mothers’ weight and #epigenetic differences.

REVIEW: This review found maternal #BMI was associated with both #DNA methylation and miRNA related to the expression of the BDNF & HIF3A genes.

@NicolsFragoso Congratulations 👏👏😀 @NicolsFragoso

[Christine Sommer @epipreg]

For those interested in the #EPIPREG sample, my talented PhD student @NicolsFragoso has published a preprint of our cohort profile paper! #EWAS #epigenetics #DNA #genotype #methylation #DNAmethylation

[Nicolás Fragoso Bargas @NicolsFragoso]

Our Cohort Profile pre-print is out! , the aim is to present #EPIPREG, and the completeness of our data. We are planning to perform association studies of several traits with #DNAmethylation. And of course, we are open for joint collaboration efforts!!

Fantastic work by #EPIPREG PhD student @NicolsFragoso, presented today at #Epigenomics2020 👏👏 https://t.co/lPFC7RdNHG

[Nicolás Fragoso Bargas @NicolsFragoso]

The lighting talk that I presented for the Epigenomics of Common Diseases conference (#epigenomics2020), representing my teamwork @epipreg (#EPIPREG). We explored how #DNAmethylation is related with maternal insulin resistance. We found exciting results!!
