Identification and functional validation of HPV-mediated hypermethylation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
5 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus-positive (HPV+) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a distinct clinical and epidemiological condition compared with HPV-negative (HPV-) HNSCC. To test the possible involvement of epigenetic modulation by HPV in HNSCC, we conducted a genome-wide DNA-methylation analysis. METHODS: Using laser-capture microdissection of 42 formalin-fixed paraffin wax-embedded...
