Abstract excerpt
In mammals, DNA methylation patterns are established by various types of DNA methyltransferases and can be stably passed on during cell division, thus creating a paradigm for epigenetic regulation that can mediate long-lasting changes in gene expression even when the initial triggering signal has disappeared. Although functional deficiency of DNMT3A, one of the methyltransferases, leads to abnormal DNA...
