DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that is implicated in transcriptional silencing. Recently, it has become increasingly clear that both correct levels and proper interpretation of methylation are important factors for normal development and function of the human organism. One example is

## Abstract Metallothioneins (MTs) are a group of cysteine‐rich stress response proteins that scavenge reactive oxygen species and heavy metals. Recently, we have shown that MT‐I promoter is methylated and suppressed in some solid and liquid tumors and can be robustly activated following treatment

Rett syndrome (RTT or RS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and one of the most frequent genetic diseases in girls. Mutations of the MECP2 gene have been found in a variety of different RTT phenotypes. The MECP2 gene (Xq28) has been described in 1992. Up to now, 218 different mutations have been repo
