TL;DR

IFI44L hypomethylation may serve as a diagnostic biomarker, while methylation of FOXP3 and TET2 reflects disease activity, early-onset disease, and renal involvement and methylation levels of FOXP3 and TET2 plays critical roles in SLE pathogenesis.

Methylation of the MAPK1 Gene as a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Childhood B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a type of heterogeneous leukemia that is associated with the abnormal proliferation of immature monoclonal B and T lymphoid precursors. Cancer is considered an epigenetic disease due to fundamental changes in the pattern of normal methylation in cancer cells. This study aimed...

Role of Interleukin-10 Promoter Gene Polymorphisms in Susceptibility to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Systematic Review

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by multisystem inflammation that predominantly affects women of reproductive age. Genetic factors, particularly polymorphisms within the interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter region, have been implicated in disease susceptibility through their i...
