DNA Methylation at the MYC Locus

Molecular classification
Histone modification, Epigenetic modification
01

Overview

DNA methylation at the MYC locus refers to the addition of methyl groups, typically to cytosine bases in CpG dinucleotides, within or near the genomic region encoding the MYC gene. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns at this locus are implicated in cancer development and progression. Changes in DNA methylation can modulate MYC expression levels, impacting cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
