DNA methylation data from non-immortalized lymphocyte samples from participants of the AGES Reykjavik Study


ABSTRACT: Genome-wide DNA methylation was studied to identify regions with extreme inter-individual variability, half of which show stability within-person, and some of which show covariation with body mass index consistently and are located in or near genes previously implicated in regulating body weight or diabetes. We isolated genomic DNA from non-immortalized lymphocyte samples from participants of the AGES Reykjavik Study and hybridized it to custom-designed NimbleGen microarrays (CHARM arrays).

The epigenome consists of non-sequence-based modifications, such as DNA methylation, that are heritable during cell division and that may affect normal phenotypes and predisposition to disease. Here, we have performed an unbiased genome-scale analysis of ~4 million CpG sites in 74 individuals with comprehensive array-based relative methylation (CHARM) analysis. We found 227 regions that showed extreme interindividual variability [variably methylated regions (VMRs)] across the genome, which are e  ...[more]
