Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Villous DNA methylation profiles in dichorionic diamniotic twins were analyzed. 123 CpG sites were extracted as CpG site whose DNA methylation status altered in fetus with fetal growth restriction compared with the twin sibling grew up normally and was not significantly different in the twin siblings who both grew up normally. It was suggested that the alteration of villous DNA methylation at the CpG sites extracted in this study were associated with the pathogenesis of fetal growth restriction.
