Epigenome-Wide Analysis in Familial Hypercholesterolemia Identified New Loci Associated with High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentration
1 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIM: This study aims to assess whether epigenetic changes may account for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level variability in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a recognized human model to study cardiovascular disease risk modulators. MATERIALS & METHODS: A genome-wide DNA methylation analysis (Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip, Illumina) was performed on peripheral blood DNA samples obtained...
