Epigenetic mortality predictors and incidence of breast cancer

Abstract excerpt

Measures derived using blood DNA methylation are increasingly under investigation as indicators of disease and mortality risk. Three existing epigenetic age measures or “epigenetic clocks” appear associated with breast cancer. Two newly-developed epigenetic mortality predictors may be related to all-cancer incidence, but associations with specific cancers have not been examined in large studies. Using...
