Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Lung cancer is the worldwide leading cause of death from cancer. DNA methylation in gene promoter regions is a major mechanism of gene expression regulation that may promote tumorigenesis. However, whether clinically relevant subgroups based on DNA methylation patterns exist in lung cancer remains unclear. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Whole-genome DNA methylation analysis using 450K Illumina BeadArrays was...
