SNP-derived CpG variation and DNA methylation linking genetic susceptibility to metabolic disease.
Epigenomics - 1 Aug 2026

Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation at CpG dinucleotides represents a key epigenetic mechanism linking genetic variation to gene regulation in complex human diseases. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that create or disrupt CpG sites can alter local DNA methylation and transcriptional activity, thereby influencing disease susceptibility. These CpG-modifying variants provide a functional interface between inherited genetic...
