DNA methylation and obesity in survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study

Because survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are more likely to be obese than unaffected contemporaries, we compared DNA methylation profiles between normal‐weight and obese survivors at adiposity‐associated CpG sites previously‐reported by epigenome‐wide association studies (EWAS) of body mass index (BMI) in the general population.
