Epigenome-wide association study of kidney function identifies trans-ethnic and ethnic-specific loci
Abstract Background DNA methylation (DNAm) is associated with gene regulation and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function.Decreased eGFR is more common among US Hispanics and African Americans.The causes for this are poorly understood.We aimed to identify trans-ethnic and ethnic-specific differentially methylated p
