These risks may be mediated through epigenetic modification of genes that are critical to normal growth and development. METHODS We measured the methylation level of an imprinted insulin-like-growth-factor 2...

متن کاملMathematics deficiencies in children with very low birth weight or very preterm birth.
Children with very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500 g) or very preterm birth (VPTB, <32 weeks gestational age or GA) have more mathematics disabilities or deficiencies (MD) and higher rates of mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) than normal birth weight term-born children (NBW, >2500 g and >36 weeks GA). MD are found even in children without global disorders in cognition or neurosensory status...
