Twin DNA Methylation Profiling Reveals Flare‐Dependent Interferon Signature and B Cell Promoter Hypermethylation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
23 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has limited monozygotic twin concordance, implying a role for pathogenic factors other than genetic variation, such as epigenetic changes. Using the disease-discordant twin model, we investigated genome-wide DNA methylation changes in sorted CD4+ T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, and B cells in twin pairs with at least 1 SLE-affected twin. METHODS: Peripheral blood...
