Illumina methylation EPIC array of human blood from patients with type 2 diabetes

ABSTRACT: To explore the possibility that DNAm-derived biological age is associated with mortality independently of common risk factors in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D), we leveraged a well-characterized cohort of individuals with T2D and followed-up for 16.8 years to create two groups, one of deceased individuals and the other of survived patients, fully matched for common risk factors. We performed a genome wide DNAm analysis of peripheral blood leukocytes to explore differentially methylated genes related to death in T2D, test the ability of a chosen set of existing tools estimating biological aging from DNAm to predict mortality, and assess the differences between deceased and survived diabetic patients in DNAm-inferred levels of selected inflammatory proteins and in predicted blood cell counts with a known pathophysiological role in T2D.
