TL;DR

MeVars have postzygotic origins with an ability to ‘reset’ during reprogramming, adding a new dimension in the form of epigenetic diversity and its relevance to disease susceptibility in humans.

DNA methylation landscape of cerebrospinal fluid cells in multiple sclerosis: an epigenome-wide association study

MS-associated methylation changes enriched in the cohesin chromatin-regulation pathway localised to T-cell regulatory regions included multiple protocadherin (PCDH) genes, which displayed consistent methylation and expression changes in CSF cells of pwMS compared to controls.

Recurrent deletions and regulatory disruption of the Y chromosome in cancer

High-coverage whole-genome sequencing, large-scale transcriptomics, and eQTL are used to map male cancer cell lines, revealing a region-specific LOY landscape with recurrent euchromatic deletions affecting protein-coding genes and non-coding elements and motivating validation in primary tumor cohorts.

A VIM2/4 deletion, and premature truncations of CMT2 and FBX5, drive DNA methylation changes after colonization of a novel habitat

This study shows that Arabidopsis thaliana colonizing the Cape Verde Islands rapidly evolved altered DNA methylation patterns through high-impact mutations affecting VIM2/4, CMT2 and FBX5, linked to alternative drought adaptation strategies.

Cell-type-resolved DNA methylation profiling in the cortex reveals female-specific X chromosome differences in autism

Sex differences are a prominent feature of many neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly autism for which approximately three males are diagnosed for every female. Although epigenetic dysregulation has been implicated in autism, the extent to which autism-associated epigenetic differences vary by sex and neural cell...
