Given that DNA methylation may have an impact on gene regulation [ 5 ], the probability of detecting true positive associations should be improved by combining nominally significant data from genomics and epigenomics and linking them by quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis.

The sentences
To identify new genes associated with this trait, we performed genome- and epigenome-wide association studies and linked marginally significant CpGs located in genes or its promoter and SNPs located 1 Mb from the CpGs, by identifying cis methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL).
