Identification of novel differentially methylated sites with potential as clinical predictors of impaired respiratory function and COPD

Abstract excerpt

Background The causes of poor respiratory function and COPD are incompletely understood, but it is clear that genes and the environment play a role. As DNA methylation is under both genetic and environmental control, we hypothesised that investigation of differential methylation associated with these phenotypes would permit mechanistic insights, and improve prediction of COPD. We investigated genome-wide...
