CONDENSED ABSTRACT: We compared the methylation status of several loci between right-sided and left-sided colorectal cancers (CRCs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first to report that left-sided CRCs show significantly less frequent methylation at several loci and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) than right-sided ones.
