Unique DNA methylation signature in HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinomas
5 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) represent a heterogeneous group of cancers for which human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is an emerging risk factor. Previous studies showed promoter hypermethylation in HPV(+) oropharyngeal cancers, but only few consistent target genes have been so far described, and the evidence of a functional impact on gene expression is still limited. METHODS: We...
