The Role of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminant Potential and DNA (Cytosine-5)-Methyltransferase Dysregulation in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Other Cardiovascular Diseases

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression without altering gene sequences in health and disease. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are enzymes responsible for DNA methylation, and their dysregulation is both a pathogenic mechanism of disease and a therapeutic target. DNMTs change gene expression by methylating CpG islands within exonic and intergenic DNA regions, which typically...
