DNA methylation data from non-immortalized lymphocyte samples from participants of the AGES Reykjavik Study. Homo sapiens

Genome-wide DNA methylation was studied to identify regions with extreme inter-individual variability, half of which show stability within-person, and some of which show covariation with body mass index consistently and are located in or near genes previously implicated in regulating body weight or diabetes. Overall design: We isolated genomic DNA from non-immortalized lymphocyte samples from participants of the AGES Reykjavik Study and hybridized it to custom-designed NimbleGen microarrays (CHARM arrays).
