Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in buccal cells: a study of monozygotic twins and mQTLs

Abstract Background DNA methylation arrays are widely used in epigenome-wide association studies and methylation quantitative trait locus (mQTL) studies. Here, we performed the first genome-wide analysis of monozygotic (MZ) twin correlations and mQTLs on data obtained with the Illumina MethylationEP...
