Individual CpG sites that are associated with age and life expectancy become hypomethylated upon aging
2 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
There is a growing interest in simple molecular biomarkers for biological aging. Age-associated DNA methylation (DNAm) changes at specific CG dinucleotides can be combined into epigenetic age predictors to estimate chronological age—and the deviation of chronological and predicted age (∆ age ) seems to be associated with all-cause mortality. In this study, we have further validated this association and analyzed...
