Abstract:

Biological pathway plays the central role in translational medicine.  Association analysis of epigenome and metabolome involves high-throughput, high-dimensional data, which presents a great analytic challenge for biostatisticians to overcome in order to minimize false discovery rate. In this talk, I will present an association analysis of blood leukocyte DNA methylation with plasma metabolite levels in peripubertal children based on a cross-sectional dataset from the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) cohort. Methodological illustration will be given throughout the talk.
