Cadmium exposure and MEG3 methylation differences between Whites and African Americans in the NEST Cohort
Environmental Epigenetics, 5(3).
Contributors: n , J. Hall n, S. Park n, A. Planchart n , E. Money n , R. Maguire n, Z. Huang *, C. Mattingly n
Ed(s): M. Skinner
author keywords: maternal exposures; imprinted genes; offspring epigenetics; cadmium; CpG methylation; racial epigenetic outcome differences
TL;DR:
Data support that prenatal Cd exposure is associated with aberrant methylation of the imprint regulatory element for the MEG3 gene cluster at birth, and neither house-dust nor water are likely exposure sources, and ingestion via contaminated hands is also unlikely to be a significant exposure route in this population.
