5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an oxidized forms of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in mammalian DNA. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is produced from 5mC in an enzymatic pathway involving three 5mC oxidases, Ten-eleven translocation (TET)1, TET2, and TET3. The conversion of 5mC into 5hmC can be the first step in a pathway leading towards DNA demethylation. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is associated with gene transcription and frequently used as a mark to investigate dynamic DNA methylation conversion during mammalian development. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine can be used for the study of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimers, Parkinsons) and hematological malignancies (acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes)[1][2].
