Abstract
Aim: Validation of epigenome-wide association studies is sparse. Therefore, we evaluated the methylation markers cg06500161 (ABCG1) and cg11024682 (SREBF1) as classifiers for diabetes stratification. Patients & methods: DNA methylation was measured in blood (n = 167), liver (n = 99) and visceral adipose tissue (n = 99) of nondiabetic or Type 2 diabetic subjects by bisulfite pyrosequencing. Results: DNA methylation at cg11024682 in blood and liver correlated with BMI. Methylation at cg06500161 was influenced by the adjacent SNP rs9982016. Insulin-resistant and sensitive subjects could be stratified by DNA methylation status in blood or visceral adipose tissue. Conclusion: DNA methylation at both loci in blood presents a promising approach for risk group stratification and could be valuable for personalized Type 2 diabetes risk prediction in the future.
