Characterisation of the genetic determinants of context specific DNA methylation in primary monocytes

James J. Gilchrist, Hai Fang, Sara Danielli…·Benjamin Peter Fairfax

The paper characterizes genetic determinants of context-specific DNA methylation in primary monocytes exposed to inflammatory stimuli, identifying 209 CpGs under genetic control and linking them to disease.
