Do dNA methylation patterns associate with genetic and gene expression variation in HapMap cell lines?
Our results demonstrate a strong genetic component to inter-individual variation in DNA methylation profiles. Furthermore, there was an enrichment of SNPs that affect both methylation and gene expression, providing evidence for shared mechanisms in a fraction of genes.
The enhanced AAR participates in sympathetic activation in IR, which can be strengthened by PVN insulin. PVN MC4Rs mediate the AAR response to insulin in IR, but not MC3Rs and insulin receptors.
