Promoter DNA methylation regulates progranulin expression and is altered in FTLD
13 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases associated with personality changes and progressive dementia. Loss-of-function mutations in the growth factor progranulin (GRN) cause autosomal dominant FTLD, but so far the pathomechanism of sporadic FTLD is unclear. RESULTS: We analyzed whether DNA methylation in the GRN core promoter restricts GRN...
