摘要: The term “epigenetics” refers to clonally inherited stable variability in gene expression without underlying genetic changes. There are two well-known molecular mechanisms for epigenetic information: DNA methylation and histone modifications. Epigenetic changes have been recognized the past decade as critical factors physiological phenomena such embryogenesis differentiation of normal cells. is recent interest regarding involvement aberrant modifications mediating altered physiology cancer. MDS characterized by changes, mutations regulators, response inhibitors, suggesting that unique features patients. In this article, progress understanding epigenetics epigenetics-based therapies reviewed.
