Genome‐wide <scp>DNA</scp> methylation profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in irritable bowel syndrome

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a stress-sensitive disorder. Environmental factors including stress can trigger epigenetic changes, which have not been well-studied in IBS. We performed a pilot study investigating genome-wide DNA methylation of IBS patients and healthy controls (HCs) to identify potential epigenetic markers and associated pathways. Additionally, we investigated relationships of...
