This study constructs a high-resolution placental mQTL resource and investigates how placental DNA methylation relates to early- and later-life traits and their shared vulnerability.

The paper examines PFAS transfer from mother to fetoplacental unit using trimester-specific maternal serum profiles and finds early-to-mid gestation measures are most predictive of fetal exposure.

The paper introduces a pruning and thresholding method for methylation risk scores to improve prediction across multi-ancestry populations, showing better performance than simple thresholding.

The paper develops epigenetic clocks to estimate post-menstrual and postnatal age in preterm infants using DNA methylation data from buccal cells.

This study identifies placental DNA methylation changes linked to maternal smoking during pregnancy and their associations with birth outcomes using data from the PACE consortium.

The paper identifies microRNAs in placental tissue associated with familial cardiovascular disease using RNA sequencing and statistical modeling.

The paper identifies miR-532 as a microRNA associated with birthweight percentile through regulation of adipokines in two independent cohorts.
