The cells that were most likely involved in this disease process are Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs). These cells are pluripotent cells.
Embryonic Stem Cells, methylation and epigenetics
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst.
Conversely, the term 'epigenetics' refers to gene expression mechanisms that do not involve a change in nucleotide sequence.
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that happens at the cytosines outside of CpG context in ESC cells.
