Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify novel genetic and epigenetic factors associated with Myasthenia gravis (MG) using an identical twins experimental study design. METHODS: The transcriptome and methylome of peripheral monocytes were compared between monozygotic (MZ) twins discordant and concordant for MG, as well as with MG singletons and healthy controls, all females. Sets of differentially expressed genes and...
