Abstract excerpt
A subset of colorectal cancer shows significant accumulation of aberrant promoter methylation. Previously, we developed two groups of methylation markers that classified colorectal cancer into three epigenotypes: i) high-, ii) intermediate-, and iii) low-methylation epigenotypes. High-methylation epigenotype, with methylation of both group 1 and group 2 markers, correlates to BRAF-mutation((+))....
