Association between fetal exposure to phthalate endocrine disruptor and genome-wide DNA methylation at birth.

Author
Abstract
:

Phthalic acid esters are ubiquitous and antiandrogenic, and may cause systemic effects in humans, particularly with in utero exposure. Epigenetic modification, such as DNA methylation, has been hypothesized to be an important mechanism that mediates certain biological processes and pathogenic effects of in utero phthalate exposure.
