Abstract Background Seasonal variations in environmental exposures at birth or during gestation are associated with numerous adult traits and health outcomes later in life. Whether DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a role in the molecular mechanisms under

Publikováno v: Nature Communications, Vol 13, Iss 1, Pp 1-13 (2022)

The role of DNA methylation in predisposing to pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia remains unknown. Here, the authors utilize a discordant twin model to investigate how DNA methylation variation contributes to disease risk in genetically identical
