New research from Dr. Brock Christensen’s lab identified CpG sites that demonstrated significant associations with subject age in normal breast tissue. This study suggests that regions in the genome where DNA methylation changes occur with age are particularly sensitive to disruption in cancer. Science Daily Breast Cancer Research
