DNA methylation and telomere length in 2–5 year olds with intrauterine preeclampsia exposure: a P4 sub-study

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterised by new onset hypertension at ≥ 20 weeks’ gestation accompanied by maternal organ dysfunction and/ or fetal compromise. This hypertensive expos...

Clinical validation of a three-marker methylation panel to detect CIN3+ in vaginal self-samples in the Dutch population-based screening programme

The use of vaginal self-sampling for cervical cancer screening is promising and increasing. However, triage cytology cannot be performed on vaginal self-sampling material after a high-risk human papilloma viru...

Distinct DNA methylation in mother-infant dyads exposed to PM2.5 in pregnancy

Air pollution exposure during pregnancy increases the risk of allergic and respiratory diseases, yet its epigenetic effects across the maternal–fetal interface remain poorly understood. We conducted a pilot st...

WTAP regulates NCOA4-mediated ferroptosis via a YTHDF2-dependent mechanism in preeclampsia

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder associated with placental dysfunction and oxidative stress. This study explored whether WTAP regulates ferroptosis in trophoblasts through m6A-depen...

Epigenetic alterations in obstructive sleep Apnea: a pooled analysis of DNA methylation profiles in humans and animal models

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent sleep disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep fragmentation. OSA is strongly associated with cardiometabolic morb...

Epigenome-wide profiling of trisomy 18 specific DNA methylation signatures in first-trimester chorionic villi

Trisomy 18 (T18, Edwards syndrome) is a lethal chromosomal disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and high perinatal mortality. Although epigenetic alterations have been described in aneuploid...

HMGA1 drives EMT in obliterative bronchiolitis through epigenetic regulation of chromatin accessibility in pulmonary epithelial cells

Post-transplant obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is a major cause of lung graft dysfunction and failure, with the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) process playing a pivotal role in driving extracellular ...

Hypermethylated USP44 deubiquitinates SENP2: a critical mechanism in esophageal cancer progression and a new target for intervention

Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) play a critical role in the development of various cancers. The study aimed to elucidated the pathogenic molecular mechanisms and analyze its clinical significance in esopha...

Does polypharmacy affect epigenetic aging in older people? Evidence from a longitudinal epigenome-wide methylation study

Polypharmacy, defined as taking ≥ 5 different daily medications, is common in older adults and has been linked with neuropsychiatric/neurological and other health conditions. To clarify the potential molecular...

Unraveling the causal association of epigenetic age acceleration with common oral diseases and its underlying mechanisms: findings from Mendelian randomization and integrative genetic analysis

The epigenetic clock is recognized as a highly accurate predictor of biological aging, but the relationship between epigenetic age acceleration and oral diseases remains poorly understood. This study aimed to ...

Molecular mechanisms by which C1orf112 promotes endometrial cancer progression and the development and validation of a clinical scoring model

To investigate the expression profile, clinical significance, and underlying molecular mechanisms of C1orf112 in endometrial cancer (EC).

Diagnostic efficacy and subgroup heterogeneity of SHOX2, RASSF1A, Septin9, and HOXA9 methylation in pleural effusion lymphoma

DNA methylation profiling has emerged as a promising tool for improving pathological diagnosis. This study investigates the diagnostic efficacy and subgroup heterogeneity of SHOX2, RASSF1A, Septin9, and HOXA9 ...

Impact of psychosocial stress in early life on pace of aging in young adulthood

Early-life psychosocial stress is increasingly recognized as a contributor to accelerated biological aging and health disparities, yet its impact during young adulthood remains underexplored. Existing studies ...

A frameshift variant in activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) causes nucleocytoskeletal alterations in a dizygotic male twin: a case study

The Helsmoortel-Van der Aa syndrome is an autosomal-dominant neurodevelopment disorder caused by heterozygous de novo variants in the Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein (ADNP) gene, characterized by autis...

Investigation of methylation profiles in Silver–Russell syndrome to explore episignatures

Episignatures are disease-specific, genome-wide DNA methylation patterns identified in more than 100 genetic syndromes caused by mutation of genes related to epigenetic modifiers. The utility of episignatures ...

Epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of autoimmune skin diseases: novel biomarkers and therapeutic prospects

Autoimmune skin diseases (AISDs) are disorders characterized by disrupted immune tolerance and aberrant responses against skin antigens, including atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosu...
