Wilson Disease: Epigenetic effects of choline supplementation on phenotype and clinical course in a mouse model
10 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Wilson disease (WD), a genetic disorder affecting copper transport, is characterized by hepatic and neurological manifestations with variable and often unpredictable presentation. Global DNA methylation in liver was previously modified by dietary choline in tx-j mice, a spontaneous mutant model of WD. We therefore hypothesized that the WD phenotype and hepatic gene expression of tx-j offspring could be modified...
