Tóm tắt

Trong thư này, chúng tôi phản hồi và thảo luận về bài báo gần đây của Al-Moghrabi et al.: Sự methyl hóa các gen BRCA1 và MGMT trong tế bào máu trắng được truyền từ mẹ sang con gái. Chúng tôi bàn luận về những phát hiện của họ với sự nhấn mạnh vào hai bài báo khác đã được công bố gần đây và lập luận rằng dữ liệu của họ không cho phép kết luận về việc truyền methyl hóa BRCA1 từ cha mẹ sang con cái.
