Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>LINE-1, Alu, and SVA elements are non-LTR retrotransposons that create approximately one-third of the human genome. The loss of tight control mechanisms on the function of mobile elements has been implicated in many human diseases. The methylation of the CpG islands of the LINE-1 promoter is one of these mechanisms. In this study, we determined the promoter meth...
