Objective—The function of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) may better reflect their
atheroprotective role, compared with HDL-cholesterol levels. The association between DNA …

BACKGROUND: Recent findings suggest that DNA methylation, a well-known epigenetic
mechanism, is involved in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) metabolism and …

Aim: To assess whether DNA methylation is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Materials & methods: An epigenome-wide analysis has been performed on leucocytes from …

Aim: This study aims to assess whether epigenetic changes may account for high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level variability in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a …

Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, might be
involved in the regulation of blood lipid concentration variability and may thereby affect …

Changes in whole blood DNA methylation levels at several CpG sites have been associated
with circulating blood lipids, specifically high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides. This study …

Background—Epigenetic mechanisms might be involved in the regulation of interindividual
lipid level variability and thus may contribute to the cardiovascular risk profile. The aim of this …

During the last 2 years, the cardiovascular disease (CVD) field has increasingly embraced
epigenomics technologies. This ménage is a young one in comparison with cancer studies …

Background DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism that is suggested to be
associated with blood lipid levels. We aimed to identify CpG sites at which DNA methylation …

Abstract Purpose of Review Epigenetic modifications via DNA methylation have previously
been linked to blood lipid levels, dyslipidemias, and atherosclerosis. The purpose of this …
