Epigenetic Deregulation Across Chromosome 2q14.2 Differentiates Normal from Prostate Cancer and Provides a Regional Panel of Novel DNA Methylation Cancer Biomarkers
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previously, we showed that gene suppression commonly occurs across chromosome 2q14.2 in colorectal cancer, through a process of long-range epigenetic silencing (LRES), involving a combination of DNA methylation and repressive histone modifications. We now investigate whether LRES also occurs in prostate cancer across this 4-Mb region and whether differential DNA methylation of 2q14.2 genes could...
