Association of COMT genotypes with S-COMT promoter methylation in growth-discordant monozygotic twins and healthy adults

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) plays a key role in dopamine and estrogen metabolism. Recently, COMT haplotypes rather than the single polymorphism Val158Met have been reported to underlie differences in protein expression by mod...
