HumanMethylation450 (450k) data for 79 rheumatoid arthritis disease discordant monozygotic twin pairs

ABSTRACT: This project contains genome-wide DNA methylation data generated using the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (Illumina), for 79 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) discordant monozygotic twin pairs. By investigating disease discordant monozygotic twins, DNA methylation can be assessed without the confounding influence of genetic heterogeneity which often affects case-control epigenome-wide association studies of common diseases. Twins were recruited from two cohorts; Arthritis Research UK in Manchester and TwinsUK in London.
