Cell-type deconvolution in epigenome-wide association studies: a review and recommendations.

Epigenomics - 1 May 2017

Teschendorff Andrew E, Zheng Shijie C

Abstract excerpt

A major challenge faced by epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) is cell-type heterogeneity. As many EWAS have already demonstrated, adjusting for changes in cell-type composition can be critical when analyzing and interpreting findings from such studies. Because of their importance, a great number of different statistical algorithms, which adjust for cell-type composition, have been proposed. Some of the...
