DNA Methylation Biomarkers for Blood-Based Colorectal Cancer Screening
18 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sensitive, specific blood-based tests are difficult to develop unless steps are taken to maximize performance characteristics at every stage of marker discovery and development. We describe a sieving strategy for identifying high-performing marker assays that detect colorectal cancer (CRC)-specific methylated DNA in plasma. METHODS: We first used restriction enzyme-based discovery methods to identify...
