Methylome analysis of endothelial cells suggests new insights on sporadic brain arteriovenous malformation

Abstract excerpt

Arteriovenous malformation of the brain (bAVM) is a vascular phenotype related to brain defective angiogenesis. Involved vessels show impaired expression of vascular differentiation markers resulting in the arteriolar to venule direct shunt. In order to clarify aberrant gene expression occurring in bAVM, here we describe results obtained by methylome analysis performed on endothelial cells (ECs) isolated from...
