Epigenetic silencing of CHD5, a novel tumor‐suppressor gene, occurs in early colorectal cancer stages
14 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 5 (CHD5) is a family member of chromatin remodeling factors. The epigenetic silencing mechanisms of CHD5 in colorectal cancer have not been well studied. METHODS: Here we analyzed CHD5 methylation and mRNA expression in vitro and in clinical samples from African American patients. DNA and RNA were isolated from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) colon...
