Co-methylation networks associated with cognition and structural brain development during adolescence by Dawn Jensen, Dawn Jensen, Jiayu Chen, Jiayu Chen, Jessica A. Turner, Julia M. Stephen, Yu-Ping Wang, Tony W. Wilson, Vince D. Calhoun, Vince D. Calhoun, Vince D. Calhoun, Vince D. Calhoun, Vince D. Calhoun, Jingyu Liu, Jingyu Liu, Jingyu Liu

“…Modules from these analyses, consisting of co-methylation networks, were then used in multivariate analyses with GM, FA, and cognitive measures to assess the nature of their relationships with cognitive improvement and brain development in adolescence.ResultsThis longitudinal exploration of co-methylated networks revealed an increase in correlated epigenetic changes as subjects progressed into adolescence. Co-methylation networks enriched for pathways involved in neuronal systems, potassium channels, neurexins and neuroligins were both conserved across time as well as associated with maturation patterns in GM, FA, and cognition.DiscussionOur research shows that correlated changes in the DNAm of genes in neuronal processes involved in adolescent brain development that were both conserved across time and related to typical cognitive and brain maturation, revealing possible epigenetic mechanisms driving this stage of development.…”
