Journal ArticleDOI

Methylation-Based Biological Age and Breast Cancer Risk.

TL;DR: DNA methylation-based measures of biological age may be important predictors of breast cancer risk, and age acceleration in premenopausal women independently predicted breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring DNA methylation changes in promoter, intragenic, and intergenic regions as early and late events in breast cancer formation

TL;DR: Examination of transcriptome and DNA methylation databases indicated that methylation at three non-promoter regions was associated with higher gene expression, unlike the inverse associations between cancer DNA hypermethylation and cancer-altered gene expression usually reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prenatal nutrition, epigenetics and schizophrenia risk: can we test causal effects?

TL;DR: Evidence that prenatal nutrition is linked to epigenetic outcomes in offspring and schizophrenia in offspring, and that schizophrenia is associated with epigenetic changes is considered, and one-carbon metabolism is focused upon as a mediator of the pathway between perturbed prenatal nutrition and the subsequent risk of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

- 29 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify 137 genome-wide significant loci, of which 113 are novel, from genomewide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses of four epigenetic clocks and epigenetic surrogate markers for granulocyte proportions and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of lead and cadmium with sex hormones in adult males

TL;DR: After controlling for additional heavy metal exposure, the associations between lead and testosterone as well as cadmium and SHBG remained significant.
