Methylation of imprinted IGF2 regions is associated with total, visceral, and hepatic adiposity in postmenopausal women

Epigenetics, 2018
Excess body fat, especially intra-abdominal fat, is a leading risk factor for metabolic diseases. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of two imprinted genes, insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and H19, have been associated with obesity due to their
