Research Resource: Genome-Wide Profiling of Methylated Promoters in Endometriosis Reveals a Subtelomeric Location of Hypermethylation
4 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence indicate that endometriosis could be partially due to selective epigenetic deregulations. Promoter hypermethylation of some key genes, such as progesterone receptor and aromatase, has been associated with the silencing of these genes and might contribute to the disease. However, it is unknown whether global alterations in DNA methylation patterns occur in endometriosis and to what extent...
