Detection of promoter hypermethylation of Wnt antagonist genes in fecal samples for diagnosis of early colorectal cancer
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the feasibility of detecting aberrantly hypermethylated Wnt-antagonist gene promoters (SFRP2 and WIF-1) in fecal DNA as non-invasive biomarkers for early colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: The methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction assay was performed to blindly analyze the methylation status of SFRP2 and WIF-1 gene promoters in fecal samples from 48 subjects with CRC, 35 with adenomas,...
