Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Elevated adiposity is often posited by medical and public health researchers to be a risk factor associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other diseases. These health challenges are now thought to be reflected in epigenetic modifications to DNA molecules, such as DNA methylation, which can alter gene expression. METHODS: Here we report the results of three Epigenome Wide Association...
