than in the newborns of non-smoking moms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;About half of these locations could be tied to a specific gene,&#8221; said the study, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many signals tied into developmental pathways,&#8221; said co-author Bonnie Joubert, an epidemiologist at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), noting that changes were seen in genes relating to lung and nervous system development, smoking-related cancers, and birth defects such as cleft lip and cleft palate.<\/p>\n<p>The DNA changes were documented in samples of umbilical cord blood drawn after birth.<\/p>\n<p>Such changes were less apparent in mothers who smoked less frequently during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>A separate analysis found that some DNA modifications remained apparent in a group of hundreds of older children &#8212; those with an average age of six &#8212; whose mothers had smoked while pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8216;High-impact&#8217; study &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>According to Christopher Gregg, an assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy and human genetics at the University of Utah, the study&#8217;s size helps &#8220;to more effectively rule out potentially confounding factors, such as maternal age and socioeconomic status.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gregg, who was not involved with the study, described it as having &#8220;high impact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is well established that pregnant women should not smoke, but these new results reveal that smoking during pregnancy leaves a lasting mark on the genome that persists into childhood, and identifies the sites and genes in the genome that are especially susceptible to these effects,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Cowley, assistant professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University, said the work takes a first stab at answering a complex question.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Could smoking-associated epigenetic changes be impacting gene expression, potentially explaining some clinical outcomes such as reduced birth weight?&#8221; asked Cowley, who was not involved in the research.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether these effects actually contribute to increased disease risk cannot be determined from this study, but this demonstration that smoking-associated epigenetic changes have functional relevance is important,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Future work will be required to demonstrate causative links between smoking-associated epigenetic changes and offspring disease, but this study provides a reliable foundation on which to build.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013\u00a0Cover Image:\u00a0<a class=\"_ZR irc_hol i3724\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"http:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/smoking-during-pregnancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-noload=\"\" data-ved=\"0ahUKEwj6v5OH94jMAhWDEpQKHdubBi8QjB0IBg\"><span class=\"irc_ho\" dir=\"ltr\">americanpregnancy.org<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/em><em>\u2013 Source: AFP Relaxnews<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women who smoke while pregnant may harm their babies by chemically altering the DNA of the developing fetus, a major study including more than 6,000 women and children found on Thursday.
