Abnormal DNA methylation in T cells from patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus
17 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Impaired methylation of T-cell DNA is thought to contribute to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, it is unknown whether T-cell hypomethylation is a factor in other, less severe, forms of lupus erythematosus such as subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). OBJECTIVES: To investigate global DNA methylation and the expression of genes that regulate methylation in T cells of...
