LINE-1 DNA methylation in response to aging and vitamin D

2020-05-03

Abstract excerpt

Retrotransposons are genetic elements capable of their own propagation and insertion into the human genome. Because of their mutagenic potential, retrotransposons are heavily suppressed by mechanisms including DNA methylation. Increased age is associated with decreasing DNA methylation of the LINE-1 retrotransposon and may partially explain the predisposition towards malignancy with advancing age. Vitamin D has be...
