Abstract excerpt
The KLF14 gene is a key metabolic transcriptional transregulator with monoallelic maternal expression. KLF14 variants are only associated with adipose tissue gene expression, and KLF14 promoter methylation is strongly associated with age. This study investigated whether age, sex, and obesity mediate the effects of KLF14 variants and DNA methylation status on body shape indices and metabolic traits. In total, the...
