The presence of methylation quantitative trait loci indicates a direct genetic influence on the level of DNA methylation in adipose tissue
Genetic variants that associate with DNA methylation at CpG sites (methylation quantitative trait loci, meQTLs) offer a potential biological mechanism of action for disease associated SNPs. We investigated whether meQTLs exist in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and if CpG methylation ass...
