Whole Genome DNA Methylation Analysis of Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis Disease Identifies Novel Epigenotypes: PARP9/miR-505/RASGRP4/GNG12 Gene Methylation and Clinical Phenotypes

Abstract excerpt

We hypothesized that DNA methylation patterns may contribute to the development of active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Illumina’s DNA methylation 450 K assay was used to identify differentially methylated loci (DML) in a discovery cohort of 12 active pulmonary TB patients and 6 healthy subjects (HS). DNA methylation levels were validated in an independent cohort of 64 TB patients and 24 HS. Microarray analysis...
