Genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in smoking discordant and concordant monozygotic twin pairs

2022-08-19

Abstract excerpt

Smoking-associated DNA methylation levels identified through epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) 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. We exploited a strong within-family design, i.e., the discordant monozygotic twin design, to study reactiveness of DNA methylation in...
