Abstract excerpt
Loss of imprinting (LOI) has been observed in many types of human tumors and may be a predisposing event in some colon cancers. LOI is strongly associated with alteration of normal DNA methylation patterns in differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of affected loci but it is not known whether LOI is caused by stochastic, environmental or genetic factors. We have developed a simple, quantitative assay for...
