Happy to announce my new preprint!! done by a talented colleague in which I am the second author. She aimed to find #DNAmethylation marks associated with #BMI in #pregnancy. She managed to replicate many CpG sites!! . Furthermore it was a multi-ancestry study, including both European and South Asian women. Therefore this increases the generalisability of the results.

Well, I'm happy that I finally published an article from my doctorate... as a preprint.
We evaluated how serum folate was associated with genome-wide blood #DNAmethylation (#EWAS).
We found three methylation sites strongly associated with serum #folate and several with nominal association.
