Gene promoter methylation assayed in exhaled breath, with differences in smokers and lung cancer patients
25 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is a need for new, noninvasive risk assessment tools for use in lung cancer population screening and prevention programs. METHODS: To investigate the technical feasibility of determining DNA methylation in exhaled breath condensate, we applied our previously-developed method for tag-adapted bisulfite genomic DNA sequencing (tBGS) for mapping of DNA methylation, and adapted it to exhaled breath...
