12 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Depletion of global 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) is observed in human cancers and is strongly implicated in skin cancer development. Although arsenic (As)-a class I human carcinogen linked to skin lesion and cancer risk-is known to be associated with changes in global %5-methylcytosine (%5-mC), its influence on 5-hmC has not been widely studied. METHODS: We evaluated associations of As in drinking...
