metyleringsstatus
Methylation status refers to the level of methylation occurring on DNA or proteins within a cell. Methylation is a crucial epigenetic modification where a methyl group (CH3) is added to a molecule. In the context of DNA, methylation typically occurs at cytosine bases, most commonly in CpG dinucleotides. This process plays a significant role in regulating gene expression, silencing genes when it occurs in promoter regions. Aberrant DNA methylation patterns are implicated in various diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.
Protein methylation is another important epigenetic mechanism that can alter protein function, stability, and interactions. It
The term "methylation status" is often used in research and clinical settings to describe the overall pattern
