Global methylation correlates with clinical status in multiple sclerosis patients in the first year of IFNbeta treatment

Abstract The alteration of DNA methylation patterns are a key component of disease onset and/or progression. Our objective was to evaluate the differences in Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1) methylation levels, as a surrogate marker of global DNA methylation, between multiple sclerosis (...
