Distinct High-Profile Methylated Genes in Colorectal Cancer
10 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations and promoters' methylation of a set of candidate cancer genes (CAN genes) are associated with progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). We hypothesized that these genes' promoters are inactivated through epigenetic silencing and may show a different profile in high-risk populations. We investigated the status of CAN gene methylation and CHD5 protein expression in African American CRC tissue...
