Genome-Scale Discovery of DNA-Methylation Biomarkers for Blood-Based Detection of Colorectal Cancer
28 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is an increasing demand for accurate biomarkers for early non-invasive colorectal cancer detection. We employed a genome-scale marker discovery method to identify and verify candidate DNA methylation biomarkers for blood-based detection of colorectal cancer. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We used DNA methylation data from 711 colorectal tumors, 53 matched adjacent-normal colonic tissue samples,...
