TL;DR: Evidence is provided for associations between DNAm and season of birth that are unique for the seasons of the year (temporal effect) and latitude-dependent variations in the seasonal associations (spatial effect) and for DNAm could play a role in the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of birth season on adult health outcomes.
