Abstract excerpt
Investigations into mechanims by which cytosine methylation may be genetically controlled have led to the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms within the coding region of DNMT2 that are conserved in different ethnic groups. The DNMT2 I allele includes a G at nucleotide position 104 of exon 2 and a C at position 50 of exon 4. The alternative allele, DNMT2 II, includes an A and T, respectively, at...
