<h4>Background</h4>Methylation at C-5 (5-mdC) of CpG base pairs, the most abundant epigenetic modification of DNA, is catalyzed by 3 essential DNA methyltransferases (Dnmt1, Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b). Aberrations in DNA methylation and Dnmts are linked to different diseases including cancer. However, their role in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) has not been elucidated.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Dnmt1 wild type (Dnmt1(+/+)) and hypomorphic (Dnmt1(N/+)) male mice that express reduced level of ...[more]
