DNA Methylation Status of the Interspersed Repetitive Sequences for LINE-1, Alu, HERV-E, and HERV-K in Trabeculectomy Specimens from Glaucoma Eyes

Table 5

HERV-K methylation levels in glaucoma eyes and control eyes.

		% ^mC	% ^uC
Normal control	10	48.0928 ± 0.1242	51.9072 ± 0.1242
POAG	16	49.2227 ± 1.1984	50.7773 ± 1.1984
PACG	12	48.9118 ± 1.1630	51.0882 ± 1.1630
Secondary glaucoma	16	48.4693 ± 1.2119	51.5307 ± 1.2119

All values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. % ^mC = percentage of HERV-K methylation; % ^uC = percentage of HERV-K nonmethylation.
