Hypomethylation of DNA restores normal transcription.
This film illustrates the mode of action of a drug to treat myelodysplastic syndrome, MDS, where the failure of certain genes causes proliferation of immature white blood cells. The film shows how this results from inhibition of transcription in blood stem cells, and how the drug restores normal function by replacing DNA bases.
