Tissue-specific methylation differences in a fragile X premutation carrier.

Clinical genetics - 1 May 1999

Tassone F, Longshore J, Zunich J, Steinbach P, Salat U, Taylor A K

Abstract excerpt

Methylation of a premutation was found in a small percentage of blood cells in a male premutation carrier for the FMR1 mutation. To investigate the inter-tissue heterogeneity and possible clinical implications of this finding, fibroblast cells from the subject were also studied. Although the premutation size was found to be the same in leukocytes and fibroblasts, the methylation pattern was different. In cultured...
