NC 2017_methyl predicts mortality (PDF version – Please do not further distribute the PDF until the paper has become freely available from the journal)

This paper investigated DNA methylation signatures in peripheral blood that strongly predict all-cause mortality. This work was highly related to my currently on-going project. The mortality risk score proposed in this study  was of particular interest. Using mortality risk score, they found ten selected CpGs exhibited strong association with all-cause mortality.
