Differentially Methylated DNA Regions in Monozygotic Twin Pairs Discordant for Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Epigenome-Wide Study
17 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Objectives: In an explorative epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) to search for gene independent, differentially methylated DNA positions (DMPs) and regions (DMRs) associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by studying monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant for rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood samples from 28 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant for RA. DNA methylation...
