“A stool sample, he explains, would contain DNA from colon tissue to help medical providers see evidence of mutations—the more mutations, the higher someone’s risk of colorectal cancer. Once you know someone is at high risk, you can take greater steps to monitor and catch the cancer early.” #dna #epigenetics #isogg #coloncancer #ecoli #colorectalcancer

“So what has to happen is that methyltransferase has to hit that site over and over and over again, and it gradually builds up methylation … and only with repeated hits from the methyltransferase do we build up enough methylation that the gene actually gets silenced.” #DNA #isogg #Epigenetics #methylation #geneadons

When someone has a mutated version of both copies of their MAL genes, they end up with an AnWj-negative blood type, like the pregnant patient. Tilley and team identified three patients with the rare blood type that didn't have this mutation, suggesting that sometimes blood disorders can also cause the antigen to be suppressed. #bloodgroup #MAL #epigenetics #isogg #geneadons https://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-identify-new-blood-group-after-50-year-mystery#
