Correlation of SHOX2 Gene Amplification and DNA Methylation in Lung Cancer Tumors
22 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation in the SHOX2 locus was previously used to reliably detect lung cancer in a group of critical controls, including 'cytologically negative' samples with no visible tumor cell content, at a high specificity based on the analysis of bronchial lavage samples. This study aimed to investigate, if the methylation correlates with SHOX2 gene expression and/or copy number alterations. An...
