Epigenetic Predictors of Smoking: External Validation and Association With Smoking‐Related Cancer Risk

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tobacco smoking has a strong influence on DNA methylation (DNAm), enabling the development of DNAm‐based smoking predictors, yet external evaluations of these have remained limited. We aimed to assess six DNAm‐based smoking predictors in a large sample of middle‐aged and older Australians for (i) their accuracy and reliability, and (ii) their ...
