Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes may result in clinically aggressive tumors and poor prognoses for cancer patients. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical significance of genomic screens for genes upregulated by demethylation in colorectal cancer. We performed a comprehensive survey of commonly inactivated genes in colorectal cancer through the functional reactivation of epigenetically...
