Association of COMT genotypes with S-COMT promoter methylation in growth-discordant monozygotic twins and healthy adults

Background Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) plays a key role in dopamine and estrogen metabolism. Recently, COMT haplotypes rather than the single polymorphism Val158Met have been reported to underlie differences in protein expression by modulating mRNA secondary structure. So far, studies invest...
