Oncofetal genes are primarily those genes that are expressed in fetal tissue but remain in a state of inactivation in adult. Assessing the various factors involved in reactivation of oncofetal gene, the predominant one that represent a distinct mechanism is bivalency. Evidence suggest that DNA methylation in context to bivalent domain of Histone 3 particularly at Lysine 4 and 27, serves as a major site for reactivation of silenced transcriptional activity along with protein complexes Tri-thorax (TrxG) and Poly-comb(PcG). The malignancy of proto- oncogene establishes a correlation with CpG rich DNA sequence that adds appropriate methylation providing rapid activation to express the silenced genes.
