Effects of smoking on genome-wide DNA methylation profiles: A study of discordant and concordant monozygotic twin pairs

Effects of smoking on genome-wide DNA methylation profiles: A study of discordant and concordant monozygotic twin pairs

Background: Smoking-associated DNA methylation levels identified through epigenome-wide association studies (EWASs) 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. Met...
