abnormal epigenetic modifications

Can Abnormal Epigenetic Modifications be Treated?

Yes, there is growing interest in developing therapies to correct abnormal epigenetic modifications. These include:
DNA Methylation Inhibitors: Drugs like 5-azacytidine can demethylate DNA and reactivate silenced genes.
Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (HDACi): These can alter histone acetylation and affect gene expression, showing promise in treating various cancers and potentially other epigenetic disorders.
CRISPR-based Epigenome Editing: Emerging technology that allows for precise modification of epigenetic marks.
