An epigenome-wide association study identifies multiple DNA methylation markers of exposure to endocrine disruptors

Background: Exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may play an important role in the epidemic of metabolic diseases. Epigenetic alterations may functionally link EDCs with gene expression and metabolic traits. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate metabolic-related effects of the...
