Article Snippet: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) (II) , Discovery cohort: 32 - Control group: 16 - Low back pain group: 16 Validation cohort: 63 - Control group: 16 - Low back pain group: 37 , Discovery cohort: - Control females: 43.8 ± 4.6 - Low back pain females: 41.3 ± 3.8 - Control males: 43.8 ± 4.0 - Low back pain males: 42.6 ± 3.6 Males: 16 (50%) Females: 16 (50%) Validation cohort: - Control females: 38.5 ± 3.5 - Low back pain females: 46.1 ± 2.7 - Control males: 43.1 ± 3.2 - Low back pain males: 48.4 ± 2.6 Males: 31 (49%) Females: 32 (51%) Caucasian , Canadian adaptation of NIH low back pain taskforce, DN4 and ODI \ NS , T cells isolated from peripheral blood Array-based methylation analyis (Illumina) after bisulfite treatment, followed by validation by pyrosequencing , 850,000 CpG sites , Of the 736,414 CpGs identified in men, 179 were hypermethylated and 240 were hypomethylated in LBP patients compared to controls. Of the 735,863 CpGs identified in women, 601 were hypermethylated and 1895 were hypomethylated ( p -value < 0.05). The generation of a polygenic methylation score for LBP in men and women with three surrogate CpG loci: cg07420274 for women; cg21149944 and cg22831726 for men. In women, the percentage of methylation at position cg07420274 was 39.5 ± 6 2.7% and 49.7 ± 6 3.2% in the control ( n = 21) and LBP groups ( n = 25), respectively ( p < 0.05). A statistically significant association between methylation at cg07420274 and LBP was observed (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01–1.11, p < 0.03). In men, a statistically significant association was found between LBP and cg21149944 methylation (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.82–0.95, p < 0.0015) as well as cg22831726 methylation (OR = 0.9, 95% CI: 0.84–0.96, p < 0.0036). , S.
