Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with dynamic changes in DNA hydroxymethylation

Abstract excerpt

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now the commonest cause of liver disease in developed countries affecting 25-33% of the general population and up to 75% of those with obesity. Recent data suggest that alterations in DNA methylation may be related to NAFLD pathogenesis and progression and we have previously shown that dynamic changes in the cell lineage identifier 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) may be...
