Epigenome-wide association of myocardial infarction with DNA methylation sites at loci related to cardiovascular disease

Abstract Background Development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and ischemic stroke, depends on environmental and genetic factors. To investigate the epigenetic basis of myocardial infarction (MI), we performed an epigenome-wide association study for t...
