Association of Body Mass Index with DNA Methylation and Gene Expression in Blood Cells and Relations to Cardiometabolic Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Approach.

Association of Body Mass Index with DNA Methylation and Gene Expression in Blood Cells and Relations to Cardiometabolic Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Approach.

<h4>Background</h4>The link between DNA methylation, obesity, and adiposity-related diseases in the general population remains uncertain.<h4>Methods and findings</h4>We conducted an association study of body mass index (BMI) and differential methylation for over 400,000 CpGs...
