Cancer genetics of epigenetic genes.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Apr 2007

Miremadi Ahmad, Oestergaard Mikkel Z, Pharoah Paul D P, Caldas Carlos

Abstract excerpt

The cancer epigenome is characterised by specific DNA methylation and chromatin modification patterns. The proteins that mediate these changes are encoded by the epigenetics genes here defined as: DNA methyltransferases (DNMT), methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) proteins, histone acetyltransferases (HAT), histone deacetylases (HDAC), histone methyltransferases (HMT) and histone demethylases. We review the evidence...
