Incorrect DNA methylation of the DAZL promoter CpG island associates with defective human sperm†
4 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Successful gametogenesis requires the establishment of an appropriate epigenetic state in developing germ cells. Nevertheless, an association between abnormal spermatogenesis and epigenetic disturbances in germline-specific genes remains to be demonstrated. METHODS: In this study, the DNA methylation pattern of the promoter CpG island (CGI) of two germline regulator genes--DAZL and DAZ, was...
