From: Erratum to: DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types
Evaluating the effect of the error on the DNAm age estimate in the cancer samples. The old, incorrect estimate of DNAm age (y-axis) versus the correct estimate (x-axis). Note that the two estimates are highly correlated (r = 0.98), which explains why most results are unaffected, but the old estimate is poorly calibrated, which leads to an average bias of 42 years. After using the correct estimate, I can no longer observe a positive age acceleration effect in cancer.
