DNA Methylation Profiles of Blood Cells Are Distinct between Early-Onset Obese and Control Individuals by Je-Keun Rhee, Jin-Hee Lee, Hae Kyung Yang, Tae-Min Kim, Kun-Ho Yoon

“…We observed that the hierarchical clustering of DNA methylation, but not gene expression, clearly segregates the obese individuals from the controls, suggesting that the metabolic disturbance that occurs as a result of obesity at a young age may affect the DNA methylation of peripheral blood cells without accompanying transcriptional changes. …”
