A 6-CpG validated methylation risk score model for metabolic syndrome: The HyperGEN and GOLDN studies

Abstract excerpt

There has been great interest in genetic risk prediction using risk scores in recent years, however, the utility of scores developed in European populations and later applied to non-European populations has not been successful. The goal of this study was to create a methylation risk score (MRS) for metabolic syndrome (MetS), demonstrating the utility of MRS across race groups using cross-sectional data from the...
