Abstract
Aim: To elucidate the epigenetic consequences of DNA methylation in healthspan termination (HST), considering the current limited understanding. Materials & methods: Genetically predicted DNA methylation models were established (n = 2478). These models were applied to genome-wide association study data on HST. Then, a poly-methylation risk score (PMRS) was established in 241,008 individuals from the UK Biobank. Results: Of the 63,046 CpGs from the prediction models, 13 novel CpGs were associated with HST. Furthermore, people with high PMRSs showed higher HST risk (hazard ratio: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.13-1.25). Conclusion: The study indicates that DNA methylation may influence HST by regulating the expression of genes (e.g., PRMT6, CTSK). PMRSs have a promising application in discriminating subpopulations to facilitate early prevention.
期刊介绍:
Epigenomics provides the forum to address the rapidly progressing research developments in this ever-expanding field; to report on the major challenges ahead and critical advances that are propelling the science forward. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – invaluable to a time constrained community.
Substantial developments in our current knowledge and understanding of genomics and epigenetics are constantly being made, yet this field is still in its infancy. Epigenomics provides a critical overview of the latest and most significant advances as they unfold and explores their potential application in the clinical setting.
