garagnani

The source study identified age-associated ELOVL2 methylation, but did not publish a one-CpG age equation. Pyaging returns the raw cg16867657 methylation beta value using coefficient 1 and zero intercept; it does not return calibrated chronological age.

Predicts	ELOVL2 methylation
Species	Homo sapiens
Tissue	whole blood
Data type	DNA methylation
Model type	single-CpG score
Year	2012
