Genetic and environmental impacts on DNA methylation levels in twins.

Epigenomics - 1 Jan 2016

Yet Idil, Tsai Pei-Chien, Castillo-Fernandez Juan E, Carnero-Montoro Elena, Bell Jordana T

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetics describes the study of cellular modifications that can modify the expression of genes without changing the DNA sequence. DNA methylation is one of the most stable and prevalent epigenetic mechanisms. Twin studies have been a valuable model for unraveling the genetic and epigenetic epidemiology of complex traits, and now offer a potential to dissect the factors that impact DNA methylation variability...
