Epigenetic age acceleration and methylation differences in IgG4-related cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis

Abstract Background IgG4-related cholangitis (IgG4-SC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are chronic fibro-inflammatory hepatobiliary conditions, with genetic, environmental, and immunologic risk factors, in which epigenetic alterations may provide insights into pathophysiology and novel biomarkers.This study is the first to assess methylati
