Cell type specific DNA methylation in cord blood: A 450K-reference data set and cell count-based validation of estimated cell type composition
5 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Epigenome-wide association studies of prenatal exposure to different environmental factors are becoming increasingly common. These studies are usually performed in umbilical cord blood. Since blood comprises multiple cell types with specific DNA methylation patterns, confounding caused by cellular heterogeneity is a major concern. This can be adjusted for using reference data consisting of DNA methylation...
