CpG-island methylation study of liver fluke-related cholangiocarcinoma
29 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic changes have been widely reported in association with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), while epigenetic changes are poorly characterised. We aimed to further evaluate CpG-island hypermethylation in CCA at candidate loci, which may have potential as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers. METHODS: We analysed methylation of 26 CpG-islands in 102 liver fluke related-CCA and 29 adjacent normal samples...
