Abstract excerpt
Changes in whole blood DNA methylation levels at several CpG sites have been associated with circulating blood lipids, specifically high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides. This study performs a discovery and validation epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) for circulating lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Whole-blood DNA methylation profiles were assessed in a...
