Contribution of Heritability and Epigenetic Factors to Skeletal Muscle Mass Variation in United Kingdom Twins
CONTEXT: Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is one of the major components of human body composition, with deviations from normal values often leading to sarcopenia. OBJECTIVE: Our major aim was to conduct a genome-wide DNA methylation study in an attempt to identify potential genomic regions associated wit...
