ABSTRACT: Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of human fetal retina samples. The Illumina Infinium DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles in human fetal retina samples that were cultured in different ways. To better undrestand the relationship between developmental stage and epigenetic age (measured by the Horvath clock based on 353 CpGs as detailed in pubmed identifier: 24138928), we analyzed the highly regular sequence of developmental stage in the human neural retina. Findings: epigenetic age of fetal retina is highly correlated with chronological age. We find that epigenetic aging progresses normally in vitro. The correlation is retained in stem cell derived organoids but is accelerated in individuals with Down syndrome.
