Title of project:
Maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy: An epigenome-wide association study
Proposal summary:
Rationale: Animal studies have provided some evidence that maternal caffeine consumption can influence offspring DNA methylation (PMIDs: 22970234, 24475304, 25354728, 25868845, 25868845), but what about humans?
Impact of research:
Clarifying the association of caffeine intake during pregnancy and offspring methylation at birth in humans
