Abstract excerpt
Maternal exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) induces cleft palate formation in mice. This TCDD treatment, which may be considered an environmental factor in cleft palate formation, is associated with alterations in DNA methylation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of DNA methylation produced by TCDD in mouse embryos are poorly understood. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and...
