Effects of paternal and chronological age on BEGAIN methylation and its possible role in autism by Ramya Potabattula (4401160)

“…The brain enriched guanylate kinase associated (BEGAIN) protein is involved in protein-protein interactions at and transmission across synapses. Since several epigenome-wide methylation screens reported a paternal age effect on sperm <i>BEGAIN</i> methylation, here we confirmed a significant negative correlation between <i>BEGAIN</i> promoter methylation and paternal age, using more sensitive bisulfite pyrosequencing and a larger number of sperm samples. …”
