The dmCpGs associated with HbA1c that were robust to adjustments for BMI, ALMi, grip strength and gait speed included G-protein subunit gamma 7 (GNG7), a tumour suppressor gene known to induce autophagy and cell death via the mTOR pathways and inhibit cell division [60] and ERI3, a gene involved in RNA processing. The gene discussed is GNG7; the disease is neoplasm.
