Connections between epigenetic gene silencing and human disease.

Mutation research - 1 May 2007

Moss Timothy J, Wallrath Lori L

Abstract excerpt

Alterations in epigenetic gene regulation are associated with human disease. Here, we discuss connections between DNA methylation and histone methylation, providing examples in which defects in these processes are linked with disease. Mutations in genes encoding DNA methyltransferases and proteins that bind methylated cytosine residues cause changes in gene expression and alterations in the patterns of DNA...
