Race-specific patterns of epigenetic aging and age-associated differential methylation in normal rectal biopsies: Implications for the biology of aging and its relationship to rectal cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Approximately 90% of colorectal cancer (CRC) develop over the age of 50, highlighting the im-portant role of aging in CRC risk. African Americans (AAs) shoulder a greater CRC burden than European Americans (EA), and are more likely to develop CRC at a younger age. The effects of aging in AA and EA normal rectal tissue have yet to be defined. Here, we performed epige-nome-wide DNA methylation analysis in the first, large-scale biracial cohort of normal rectum (n=140 samples)
