The latter is called an epigenetic alteration. While cytosine methylation is a healthy process, methylation of promoter CpG islands has also been shown to be a critical hallmark in many cancer cells.

DNA methylation is the covalent addition of methyl groups to DNA bases, typically the cytosine of CpG dinucleotides. It is catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes using a S-adenosyl methionine ...

PE is thought to result from a combination of factors, including inflammatory cytokines, trophoblast dysfunction, and environmental influences, which may trigger epigenetic changes, particularly DNA ...
