LINE-1 transposon derepression and epigenetic remodeling in Retinoblastoma
It is shown that retinoblastoma is associated with LINE-1 promoter hypomethylation, increased LINE-1 transcript expression, ORF1p accumulation, and preferential activation of selected LINE-1 loci, which is associated with altered expression of oncogenic signalling pathways and host factors involved in transposable elem...
