TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of T1D DN revealed association of two SNPs with ESRD in the AFF3 gene and an intergenic SNP on chromosome 15q26 between the genes RGMA and MCTP2, which represent new signals in the pathogenesis of DN.

TL;DR: This study reports the largest, most comprehensive, genome-wide quantitative evaluation of DNA methylation for association with CKD, and helps stimulate research to identify epigenetic therapies that might be clinically useful for CKD.

TL;DR: It is shown that low education is an independent predictor of accelerated biological (epigenetic) aging and that epigenetic clocks appear to be good candidates for disentangling the biological pathways underlying social inequalities in healthy aging and longevity.
