Epigenetic epidemiology for cancer risk: harnessing germline epigenetic variation.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) - 1 Jan 2012

Brennan Kevin, Flanagan James M

Abstract excerpt

Genetic epidemiology aims to use the natural variation in the genome, namely single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants to look for associations between particular genotypes and disease risk or prognosis. Recent work is now aiming to look further into the genome at the natural variation present in the epigenome, in DNA methylation as well as histone modifications, which both regulate gene...
