‘DNA methylation at birth and lateral ventricular volume in childhood: a neuroimaging epigenetics study’

Open Access paper from the JCPP

Lateral ventricular volume (LVV) enlargement has been repeatedly linked to schizophrenia; yet, what biological factors shape LVV during early development remain unclear. DNA methylation (DNAm), an essential process for neurodevelopment that is altered in schizophrenia, is a key molecular system of interest.
