Demystifying common DNA methylation sites that promote the ability of CheekAge to associate with health and disease
We recently showed that the next-generation epigenetic aging clock CheekAge was significantly associated with 33 different health and disease signals across 25 publicly available MethylationEPIC datasets. We additionally uncovered DNA methylation sites that played a disproportionately important role in driving the ability of CheekAge to associate with each of these variables. We dubbed these "pro" CpGs because of their ability to promote a given association. Here, we identify 2639 common DNA...
