Associations of sex hormone-binding globulin and testosterone with genome-wide DNA methylation
1 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and the androgen testosterone have been associated with risk of diseases throughout the lifecourse. Although both SHBG and testosterone have been shown to be highly heritable, only a fraction of that heritability has been explained by genetic studies. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation may explain some of the missing heritability and could...
