DNA methylation sites in early adulthood characterised by pubertal timing and development: a twin study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Puberty is a highly heritable and variable trait, with environmental factors having a role in its eventual timing and development. Early and late pubertal onset are both associated with various diseases developing later in life, and epigenetic characterisation of pubertal timing and development could lead to important insights. Blood DNA methylation, reacting to both genotype and environment, has been...
