Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase CpG Islands: Epigenotyping [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2015 BackgroundDetermination of the differential DNA methylation patterns of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) that are associated with differential MTHFR activity is important to understand the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. However, to date, no data are available on the differential DNA methylation profiles of Kelantanese Malays. Therefore, we

DNMT inhibitors reverse a specific signature of aberrant promoter DNA methylation and associated gene silencing in AML [PDF]
, 2014 <b>Background</b>. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are neoplastic disorders of hematopoietic stem cells. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi), 5-azacytidine (AzaC) and 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (Decitabine),

Nucleosome repositioning links DNA (de)methylation and differential CTCF binding during stem cell development [PDF]
, 2014 During differentiation of embryonic stem cells, chromatin reorganizes to establish cell type-specific expression programs. Here, we have dissected the linkages between DNA methylation (5mC), hydroxymethylation (5hmC), nucleosome repositioning, and ...

Factors to preserve CpG-rich sequences in methylated CpG islands [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 Mammalian CpG islands (CGIs) normally escape DNA methylation in all adult tissues and developmental stages. However, in our previous study we unexpectedly identified many methylated CGIs in human peripheral blood leukocytes. Methylated CpG dinucleotides convert to TpG dinucleotides through deaminization of their cytosine bases more frequently than ...

Intragenic CpG Islands and Their Impact on Gene Regulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The mammalian genome is depleted in CG dinucleotides, except at protected regions where they cluster as CpG islands (CGIs). CGIs are gene regulatory hubs and serve as transcription initiation sites and are as expected, associated with gene promoters. Advances in genomic annotations demonstrate that a quarter of CGIs are found within genes.
