Global DNA hypomethylation is an early event in Helicobacter pylori -related gastric carcinogenesis
26 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Cancer, particularly gastric cancer (GC), is prevalently an epigenetic phenomenon that is dependent on an altered DNA methylation pattern. In gastric carcinogenesis, many genes show aberrant methylation; however, none of them may be used as a biomarker of cancer risk and progression. The authors aimed to evaluate the global DNA methylation of gastric mucosa in Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-related chronic...
