Alu Hypomethylation in Smoke-Exposed Epithelia and Oral Squamous Carcinoma
30 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alu elements are one of the most common repetitive sequences that now constitute more than 10% of the human genome and potential targets for epigenetic alterations. Correspondingly, methylation of these elements can result in a genome-wide event that may have an impact in cancer. However, studies investigating the genome-wide status of Alu methylation in cancer remain limited. OBJECTIVES: Oral...
