Methylation hotspots evidenced by deep sequencing in patients with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy and mosaicism
15 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites with a variable level of DNA methylation of the D4Z4 macrosatellite element in patients with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). METHODS: By adapting bisulfite modification to deep sequencing, we performed a comprehensive analysis of D4Z4 methylation across D4Z4 repeats and adjacent 4qA sequence in DNA from patients with...
