DNA methylation reorganization of skeletal muscle-specific genes in response to gestational obesity
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: DNA methylation was measured in sixteen pregnant women [8-gestational obesity group; 8-control group] in umbilical cord using the Infinium Methylation EPIC Bead Chip microarray. Differentially methylated CpGs were identified with Beta Regression Models (false discovery rate (FDR)<0.05 and an Odds Ratio>1.5 or <0.67). DNA methylation interactions between CpGs of skeletal muscle-specific genes were studied using data from Pearson correlation matrices. In order to quantify the interactions within each network, the number of links was computed. The associations between methylation levels of skeletal muscle-specific genes in umbilical cord tissue and infant’s anthropometric and metabolic variables at birth and at age 6 were analyzed by Spearman’s correlation.
