DNA Methylation Profiles of Primary Colorectal Carcinoma and Matched Liver Metastasis
21 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The contribution of DNA methylation to the metastatic process in colorectal cancers (CRCs) is unclear. METHODS: We evaluated the methylation status of 13 genes (MINT1, MINT2, MINT31, MLH1, p16, p14, TIMP3, CDH1, CDH13, THBS1, MGMT, HPP1 and ERα) by bisulfite-pyrosequencing in 79 CRCs comprising 36 CRCs without liver metastasis and 43 CRCs with liver metastasis, including 16 paired primary CRCs and...
