DNA甲基化能够通过许多不同的途径调节大量基因的协调表达,因此可能需要研究它们在基因和疾病表型之间的潜在作用。在一组罕见的与阿尔茨海默病(AD)不一致的同卵双胞胎中,在AD双胞胎的颞叶新皮层神经元核中观察到显著降低的DNA甲基化水平。这些发现与表观遗传机制可能在分子水平上介导生活事件对阿尔茨海默病风险的影响的假设一致,并首次提供了尽管遗传相似但阿尔茨海默病不一致的潜在解释。
DNA methylation is capable of modulating coordinate expression of large numbers of genes across many different pathways, and may therefore warrant investigation for their potential role between genes and disease phenotype. In a rare set of monozygotic twins discordant for Alzheimer's disease (AD), significantly reduced levels of DNA methylation were observed in temporal neocortex neuronal nuclei of the AD twin. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that epigenetic mechanisms may mediate at the molecular level the effects of life events on AD risk, and provide, for the first time, a potential explanation for AD discordance despite genetic similarities.
