Slow Overmethylation of Housekeeping Genes in the Body Mucosa Is Associated with the Risk for Gastric Cancer
20 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori infection increases age-related diverse overmethylation in gene-control regions, which increases the risk of gastric cancer. The H. pylori-associated overmethylation changes subsequently disappear when gastric atrophy and cancer develop. To identify cancer-risk epigenotypes, we traced dynamic methylation changes in the background mucosa of the stomach depending on the extent of gastric...
