Context Changes over time in epigenetic marks, which are modifications of DNA such as by DNA methylation, may help explain the late onset of common human diseases. However, changes in methylation or other epigenetic marks over time in a given individual have not yet been investigated.Objectives To determine whether there are longitudinal changes in global DNA methylation in individuals and to evaluate whether methylation maintenance demonstrates familial clustering.Design, Setting, and Participants We measured global DNA methylation by luminometric methylation assay, a quantitative measurement of genome- wide DNA methylation, on DNA sampled at 2 visits on average 11 years apart in 111 individuals from an Icelandic cohort ( 1991 and 2002- 2005) and on average 16 years apart in 126 individuals from a Utah sample ( 1982- 1985 and 1997- 2005).Main Outcome Measure Global methylation changes over time.Results Twenty- nine percent of Icelandic individuals showed greater than 10% methylation change over time ( P
