Potential biological mechanisms that underlie these changes include, but are not limited to, changes to the epigenome. Objective: The aim of the present study was to identify whether the expression of key genes, proteins, or both and their associated biological pathways are perturbed by compiling datasets from studies on prenatal arsenic exposure. Methods: We compiled datasets from 12 studies that analyzed the relationship between prenatal iAs exposure and changes to the fetal epigenome (5-methyl cytosine), <a title="Learn more about Transcriptome" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/transcriptome">transcriptome</a> (mRNA expression), and/or <a title="Learn more about Proteome" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/proteome">proteome</a> (protein expression).
