Title |
Urinary concentrations of phthalate and phthalate alternative metabolites and sperm DNA methylation: A multi-cohort and meta-analysis of men in preconception studies |
Organism |
Homo sapiens |
Experiment type |
Methylation profiling by array
|
Summary |
Phthalates are ubiquitous pollutants in the environment; however, the mechanisms of phthalate-associated reproductive disorders in men are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to investigate associations between urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations and sperm DNA methylation. The study was conducted on 697 men from three prospective pregnancy cohorts: Longitudinal Investigation of Fertility and the Environment (LIFE) Study, Sperm Environmental Epigenetics and Development Study (SEEDS), and Environment and Reproductive Health (EARTH) Study.

Overall design |
Eighteen phthalate and two phthalate alternative metabolites were quantified by mass spectrometry in preconception urinary samples and sperm DNA methylation was measured via Illumina EPIC Array (v1). Regional methylation analyses were conducted to identify cohort-specific loci associated with urinary phthalate metabolites.
