DNA Methylation Is Associated with Altered Gene Expression in AMD
13 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Evidence suggests oxidative stress plays a role in the disease. To assess the potential contribution of epigenetic regulation of antioxidant genes relevant to AMD pathogenesis, we evaluated DNA methylation, a tissue-specific genetic modulation that affects gene expression. METHODS: Using the Infinium...
