Quantitative analysis of promoter methylation in exfoliated epithelial cells isolated from breast milk of healthy women
1 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Promoter methylation analysis of genes frequently silenced in breast cancer is a promising indicator of breast cancer risk, as these methylation events are thought to occur long before presentation of disease. The numerous exfoliated epithelial cells present in breast milk may provide the breast epithelial DNA needed for detailed methylation analysis and assessment of breast cancer risk. Fresh breast milk samples...
