Heritable DNA Methylation in CD4+ Cells among Complex Families Displays Genetic and Non-Genetic Effects.

DNA methylation at CpG sites is both heritable and influenced by environment, but the relative contributions of each to DNA methylation levels are unclear. We conducted a heritability analysis of CpG methylation in human CD4+ cells across 975 individuals from 163 families in the Genetics of Lipid-lo...
