Increased DNA methylation variability in rheumatoid arthritis-discordant monozygotic twins

Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Epigenome-wide association studies can identify environmentally mediated epigenetic changes such as altered DNA methylation, which may also be influenced by genetic factors....
