Epigenome-wide scans identify differentially methylated regions for age and age-related phenotypes in a healthy ageing population.

Epigenome-wide scans identify differentially methylated regions for age and age-related phenotypes in a healthy ageing population.

Age-related changes in DNA methylation have been implicated in cellular senescence and longevity, yet the causes and functional consequences of these variants remain unclear. To elucidate the role of age-related epigenetic changes in healthy ageing and potential longevity, we tested for association...
