Glycosylation of Immunoglobulin G: Role of Genetic and Epigenetic Influences
6 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which genetic and epigenetic factors contribute to variations in glycosylation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in humans. METHODS: 76 N-glycan traits in circulating IgG were analyzed by UPLC in 220 monozygotic and 310 dizygotic twin pairs from TwinsUK. A classical twin study design was used to derive the additive genetic, common and unique environmental components defining the...
