Biomarkers for detection and prognosis of breast cancer identified by a functional hypermethylome screen
1 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer (BC) is a disease with diverse tumor heterogeneity, which challenges conventional approaches to develop biomarkers for early detection and prognosis. To identify effective biomarkers, we performed a genome-wide screen for functional methylation changes in BC, i.e., genes silenced by promoter hypermethylation, using a functionally proven gene expression approach. A subset of candidate hypermethylated...
