Evaluation of methylation status of the eNOS promoter at birth in relation to childhood bone mineral content.

Our previous work has shown associations between childhood adiposity and perinatal methylation status of several genes in umbilical cord tissue, including endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). There is increasing evidence that eNOS is important in bone metabolism; we therefore related the methyl...
