DNA methylation changes associated with cancer risk factors and blood levels of vitamin metabolites in a prospective study
1 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mechanism of gene silencing in a wide range of human cancers. Previous studies on DNA methylation typically used paired tumor and normal-appearing surrounding tissues from cancer-bearing individuals. However, genomic DNA isolated from surrogate tissues such as blood cells represents an attractive material that can be exploited in the discovery of biomarkers of...
