Evaluation of DNA Methylation Changes and Micronuclei in Workers Exposed to a Construction Environment

Evaluation of DNA Methylation Changes and Micronuclei in Workers Exposed to a Construction Environment

Methylation levels in tumor-suppressor genes and repetitive sequences have previously been used to study the relationship between environmental air pollution and epigenetic changes related to cancer. In this study, we measured the methylation profiles of the promoter regions CDKN2A, MLH1 and APC and...
