Polymorphisms and disease: hotspots of inactivation in methyltransferases.

Abstract excerpt

Methyltransferases catalyze the methylation processes essential for protein/DNA repair, transcriptional regulation, and drug metabolism in vivo. More than 500 human methyltransferase polymorphisms have been identified, many of which are linked to disease. We mapped all available coding polymorphisms of seven methyltransferases onto their structures to address their structural significance, and identified a...
