Method For Identification And Monitoring Of Epigenetic Modifications
US Patent:
2007019, Aug 23, 2007
Filed:
Dec 13, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/638004
Inventors:
Roland Green - Madison WI, US
Hans Bjornsson - Baltimore MD, US

Hans Bjornsson - Baltimore MD, US
Andrew Feinberg - Baltimore MD, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
435006000, 702020000
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel methods for identifying and monitoring epigenetic modifications, such as imprinted genes, using microarray based technology. Specifically, the invention detects imprinted genes by the presence of overlapping closed and open chromatin markers. The invention also discloses a method for detecting the loss of imprinting on a genome-wide scale, which is indicative of a variety of medical conditions. Diagnostic assays and chromatin structure markers for identifying gene imprinting and loss thereof are also disclosed.
