Maternal genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in gestational diabetes shows distinctive disease-associated changes relative to matched healthy pregnancies (2018)
Journal Article
Wu, P., Farrell, W., Haworth, K., Emes, R., Kitchen, M., Glossop, J., …Fryer, A. (2018). Maternal genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in gestational diabetes shows distinctive disease-associated changes relative to matched healthy pregnancies. Epigenetics, 122-128. https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2016.1166321

Several recent reports have described associations between gestational diabetes (GDM) and changes to the epigenomic landscape where the DNA samples were derived from either cord or placental sources. We employed genome-wide 450K array analysis to det...

Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T-and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals (2013)
Journal Article
Glossop, J. R., Nixon, N. B., Emes, R. D., Haworth, K. E., Packham, J. C., Dawes, P. T., …Farrell, W. E. (2013). Epigenome-wide profiling identifies significant differences in DNA methylation between matched-pairs of T-and B-lymphocytes from healthy individuals. Epigenetics, 8(11), 1188-1197. https://doi.org/10.4161/epi.26265

Multiple reports now describe changes to the DNA methylome in rheumatoid arthritis and in many cases have analyzed methylation in mixed cell populations from whole blood. However, these approaches may preclude the identification of cell type-specific...

Combined influence of gene-specific cord blood methylation and maternal smoking habit on birth weight (2013)
Journal Article
Haworth, K. E., Farrell, W. E., Emes, R. D., Ismail, K. M. K., Carroll, W. D., Borthwick, H. D., …Fryer, A. A. (2013). Combined influence of gene-specific cord blood methylation and maternal smoking habit on birth weight. Epigenomics, 5(1), 37-49. https://doi.org/10.2217/EPI.12.72

Aim: Evidence suggests that folic acid intake affects birth weight and that these effects may be mediated via the fetal epigenome. Our previous array data indicate that methylation in human cord blood at gene-specific CpGs is associated with birth we...

Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome (2012)
Journal Article
Emes, R. D., Clifford, H., Haworth, K. E., Farrell, W. E., Fryer, A. A., Carroll, W. D., …KM, I. (2013). Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome. Epilepsia, 54(1), e16-e19. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2012.03673.x

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can lower maternal folate and increase maternal homocysteine levels, which are known to affect the methyl cycle and hence DNA methylation levels. The influence of in utero exposure to AEDs on fetal DNA methylation was inves... Read More about Antiepileptic drugs and the fetal epigenome.

Epithelial ovarian cancer: influence of polymorphism at the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1 and GSTT1 loci on p53 expression (1996)
Journal Article
Sarhanis, P., Redman, C., Perrett, C., Brannigan, K., Clayton, R., Hand, P., …Strange, R. (1996). Epithelial ovarian cancer: influence of polymorphism at the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1 and GSTT1 loci on p53 expression. British journal of cancer, 1757 - 1761. https://doi.org/10.1038/bjc.1996.626

The importance of polymorphism in the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1, GSTT1 and, cytochrome P450, CYP2D6 loci in the pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer has been assessed in two studies; firstly, a case-control study designed to determine the...
