Role of DNA methylation in Disease
DNA methylation plays key roles in gene expression and regulation. It is an epigenetic signaling tool that locks genes in the “off position” and is an important component in various cellular processes such as genomic imprinting, embryonic development, maintenance of chromosome stability, and X-chromosome inactivation. Scientists have linked abnormal methylation to various devastating outcomes, including human diseases.
