Longitudinal data reveal strong genetic and weak non-genetic components of ethnicity-dependent blood DNA methylation levels
30 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic architecture is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, but little is known about their relative contributions or longitudinal dynamics. Here, we studied DNA methylation (DNAm) at over 750,000 CpG sites in mononuclear blood cells collected at birth and age 7 from 196 children of primarily self-reported Black and Hispanic ethnicities to study race-associated DNAm patterns. We developed a novel...
