Epigenetic Regulation and Colorectal Cancer

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic silencing of genes is now recognized to be an important mechanism for inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in carcinogenesis. Because the role of genetic alterations in colorectal carcinogenesis has been well studied, colorectal cancer also offers an excellent model for elucidation of epigenetic mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis. DNA methylation and histone modification are involved in a complex...
