1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Changes in DNA methylation profiles are common features of development and in a number of human diseases, such as cancer and imprinting disorders like Beckwith-Wiedemann and Prader-Willi/Angelman syndromes. This suggests that DNA methylation is required for proper gene regulation during development and in differentiated tissues and has clinical relevance. DNA methylation is also involved in X-chromosome...
