Effects of smoking on genome-wide DNA methylation profiles: A study of discordant and concordant monozygotic twin pairs
10 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background: Smoking-associated DNA methylation levels identified through epigenome-wide association studies (EWASs) are generally ascribed to smoking-reactive mechanisms, but the contribution of a shared genetic predisposition to smoking and DNA methylation levels is typically not accounted for. Methods: We exploited a strong within-family design, that is, the discordant monozygotic twin design, to study...
