DNA methylation, heterochromatin and epigenetic carcinogens.

Mutation research - 1 Apr 1997

Klein C B, Costa M

Abstract excerpt

This paper will explore emerging concepts related to alternative carcinogenic mechanisms of 'non-mutagenic,' and hence epigenetic, carcinogens that may heritably alter DNA methylation without changing the underlying DNA sequence. In this review, we will touch on the basic concepts of DNA methylation, and will elaborate in greater detail on related topics including chromatin condensation, and heterochromatin...
