# weidner
Three-site whole-blood epigenetic-age estimator. The sites were selected from Illumina 27K blood profiles, and the final multivariate linear equation was fitted on targeted bisulfite-pyrosequencing beta values from 82 blood samples and validated in 69 independent samples. The published PDE4C measurement is a pyrosequenced CpG upstream of array probe cg17861230. The package uses cg17861230 as its feature label; supplying that array probe directly is an approximation and does not reproduce the published assay.
