Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of epigenetic alteration plays important roles in tumorigenesis. Aberrant DNA hypermethylation in gene promoter regions is a common epigenetic mechanism for silencing tumor suppressor genes in many types of cancer including colorectal cancer (CRC). By using quantitative methylation information, CRC can be classified into three distinct methylation epigenotypes with different genetic features,...
