Co-methylation of some important tumor suppressor genes have been identified in some studies and it was defined as
methylator phenotype of the relevant cancer.

"If we could somehow find a way to do that in Bangladesh, it would make individuals much better
methylators of arsenic, and as this current study shows if you're a better
methylator you're at a lower risk for disease," said co-author Joseph Graziano, PhD, professor of Environmental Health Sciences and Director of Superfund Research Program at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University.
This is frequently referred to as the '
methylator pathway'.

For fibromyalgia, there were 18 trials (16 were placebo-controlled) of which 11 studied TCAs,[66-73] 3 studied SSRIs,[78-80] 2 studied a
methylator (S-adenosylmethionine [SAMe]),[81,82] one studied an antiserotonin agent,[83] and one examined a TCA, an SSRI, and a combination of both, against placebo.[77]
