Epigenome analysis of female identical twins

ABSTRACT: Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of blood samples from eight female identical twins of Han Chinese for forensic age prediction, age 21 to 32. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485,000 CpGs at a single-nucleotide resolution. Samples included 8 pairs of identical female twins of Han Chinese. Bisulphite converted DNA isolated from blood of identical twin pairs were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip.

Epigenome analysis of male identical twin pairs discordant for sexual orientation, age 21 to 55.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of saliva samples from male identical twins discordant for sexual orientation, age 21 to 55. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in bisulfite converted DNA. Samples included 34 pairs of identical twins and one set of identical triplets, and 13 hybridisations were technical replicates of a selection of those samples.

DNA methylation profiling in breast cancer discordant identical twins

Project description:We obtained a comprehensive DNA methylation profile of 15 breast cancer discordant twins, using the high resolution Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip platform (450K, Illumina), previously established to reliably detect methylation changes of more than 450,000 CpG sites. To provide insight into the temporal and causal relationships and predictive potential, samples from breast cancer patients before (7) and after diagnosis (8) were also analyzed. Using whole blood from 15 twin pairs discordant for breast cancer and high-resolution (450k) DNA methylation analysis we identified 403 differentially methylated CpG sites including known and novel potential breast cancer genes.

DNA methylation profiling of whole blood from Han Chinese individuals: identification of age-related CpG sites for forensic use

Project description:Age-related CpG (AR-CpG) sites are currently the most promising molecular markers for age estimation. However, AR-CpG sites for the Han Chinese population have not yet been systematically identified. Besides, there may be high-performance AR-CpG sites beyond the coverage of the commonly used Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip that covers over 450,000 CpG sites (450K), which accounts only 1.6% of CpG sites in the human genome. Therefore, we initiated a project to perform genome-wide methylation analysis on whole blood samples from 42 healthy Han Chinese individuals (21 males and 21 females, 18–62 years) using the newly developed Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC array that assesses over 850,000 CpG sites (850K) to identify AR-CpG sites for forensic use systematically. The 850K methylation array contains > 90% of 450K CpG sites but adds 413,745 CpG sites. As expected, we not only replicated several high-performance AR-CpG sites previously discovered using the Illumina 450K BeadChip, such as cg16867656 (ELOVL2), cg22454769 (FHL2), and cg10501210 (C1orf132), but also identified 41 (60.3%), 34 (22.5%), and 382 (48.7%) novel AR-CpG sites from the methylation profiles of 21 males, 21 females, and all individuals, respectively.

Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis in peripheral blood of monozygotic twins informative for psychopathology

Project description:Peripheral blood from thirty-four monozygotic twin subjects from the general population (n = 17 twin pairs) was collected for epigenomic analysis via Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip. All subjects were screened for DSM-IV based criteria for both current and lifetime psychiatric disorders. Out of 17 twin pairs, there were: 7 healthy twin pairs where none of the twins of a pair met criteria for any DSM-IV disorder; 6 discordant twin pairs where only one of the twins of each pair met diagnostic criteria; and 4 concordant twin pairs where both twins of a pair met clinical DSM-IV based criteria.

DNA methylation contributes to natural human variation

Project description:DNA methylation analysis using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip platform (Illumina) of 96 Caucasian American, 96 Han Chinese American and 96 African American LCL samples determined differences in terms of differentially methylated sites. Importantly, the observed differences were confirmed in primary blood samples of 10 healthy Caucasian, 10 African American (GSE36064) and 10 Asian individuals. Genes associated to differentially methylated site suggest an influence of DNA methylation on phenotype differences. Interestingly, methylation differences could be partially traced back to genetic polymorphisms.

Intra-MZ pair discordance and longitudinal variation of whole-genome scale DNA methylation in adults

Project description:In this study, we used Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchips to compare DNA methylation profiles in blood from 10 pairs of MZ twins and 8 individuals recruited at 0, 3, 6, and 9 months. MZ Group (Group A) contained 10 pairs of MZ twins ranging from 23 to 74 years old, including 8 female and 12 male subjects.Longitudinal study group (Group B) included a pair of MZ (male) twins and 6 unrelated individuals (3 male, 3 female), aged from 24 to 39. Except subject H, all participants in Longitudinal study group (Group B) were recalled every 3 months for 9 months (0, 3, 6, and 9 m). Subject H was studied only at 0, 6, and 9 months. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 60 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip
