Longitudinal analysis of epigenome-wide DNA methylation reveals novel smoking-related loci in African Americans

Changes in DNA methylation may be a potential mechanism that mediates the effects of smoking on physiological function and subsequent disease risk. Given the dynamic nature of the epigenome, longitudinal studies are indispensable for investigating smoking-induced methylation changes over time. Using...
