Issue Date: | Jun-2019 | Date: | 2019-06-05 | Publication information: | Epigenomics 2019; 11(8): 951-968 | Abstract: | Aim: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. We performed epigenetic analyses between and within 15 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant for focal or generalized epilepsy. Methods: DNA methylation analysis was performed using Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC arrays, in blood and buccal samples. Results: Differentially methylated regions between epilepsy types associated with PM20D1 and GFPT2 genes in both tissues. Within MZ discordant twin pairs, differentially methylated regions associated with OTX1 and ARID5B genes for generalized epilepsy and TTC39C and DLX5 genes for focal epilepsy. Conclusion: This is the first epigenome-wide association study, utilizing the discordant MZ co-twin model, to deepen our understanding of the neurobiology of epilepsy. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/20979 | DOI: | 10.2217/epi-2018-0136 | ORCID: | 0000-0003-4580-841X |
