Abstract excerpt
Aim: To explore the clinical application of DNA methylation affecting thyroid function, we evaluated the association of DNA methylation with free thyroxine (FT4) and TSH measurements in monozygotic twins. Materials & methods: Discordant pairs for FT4 or TSH levels were examined for the relationship between the within-pair difference of each measurement and the DNA methylation levels using epigenome-wide...
