PRENATAL EXPOSURE TO PHTHALATES AND PERIPHERAL BLOOD AND BUCCAL EPITHELIAL DNA METHYLATION IN INFANTS: AN EPIGENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDY

Prenatal exposure to phthalates and peripheral blood and buccal epithelial DNA methylation in infants: An epigenome-wide association study

Background: Prenatal exposure to phthalates has been associated with adverse health and neurodevelopmental outcomes.DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations may be a mechanism underlying these effects, but prior investigations of prenatal exposure to phthalates and neonatal DNAm profiles are limited to placental tissue and umbilical cord blood.Objective:
