Epigenetic clock acceleration is linked to age-at-onset of idiopathic and <i>LRRK2</i> Parkinson’s disease
2022-02-06
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous movement disorder with highly variable age-at-onset. DNA methylation (DNAm) age is an epigenetic clock that could reflect biological aging. Studies of DNAm-age acceleration (difference between DNAm-age and chronological age) are pertinent to neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), for which aging is the strongest risk-factor. We asse...
