Adipose single cell epigenome and transcriptome localize genetic risk for cardiometabolic disease and accelerated aging - Nature Communications
Obesity predisposes to cardiometabolic comorbidities and accelerated biological aging. Here, the authors identify cell-type level regulatory variants and their epigenomic landscape underlying this pre...
