    • Epigenome-wide association study of leukocyte telomere length 

      Lee, Yunsung; Sun, Dianjianyi; Ori, Anil P.S.; Lu, Ake T.; Seeboth, Anne; Harris, Sarah E.; Deary, Ian J.; Marioni, Riccardo E.; Sørensen, Mette; Mengel-From, Jonas; Hjelmborg, Jacob; Christensen, Kaare; Wilson, James G.; Levy, Daniel; Reiner, Alex P.; Chen, Wei; Li, Shengxu; Harris, Jennifer Ruth; Magnus, Per; Aviv, Abraham; Jugessur, Astanand; Horvath, Steve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Telomere length is associated with age-related diseases and is highly heritable. It is unclear, however, to what extent epigenetic modifications are associated with leukocyte telomere length (LTL). In this study, we conducted ...

    • Placental epigenetic clocks: estimating gestational age using placental DNA methylation levels 

      Lee, Yunsung; Choufani, Sanaa; Weksberg, Rosanna; Wilson, Samantha L.; Yuan, Victor; Burt, Amber; Marsit, Carmen; Lu, Ake T.; Ritz, Beate; Bohlin, Jon; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Harris, Jennifer Ruth; Magnus, Per; Binder, Alexandra M.; Robinson, Wendy P.; Jugessur, Astanand; Horvath, Steve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
