Modification of epigenetic patterns in low birth weight children: importance of hypomethylation of the ACE gene promoter.

Modification of epigenetic patterns in low birth weight children: importance of hypomethylation of the ACE gene promoter.

There is a growing body of evidence that epigenetic alterations are involved in the pathological mechanisms of many chronic disorders linked to fetal programming. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) appears as one candidate gene that brings new insights into the epigenetic control and later developm...
