TERT Promoter Hypermethylation in Gastrointestinal Cancer: A Potential Stool Biomarker
28 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background There is a high demand for noninvasive screening tools for gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) detection, and GIC-specific markers are required for such purposes. It is established that induction of the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT) coupled with telomerase activation is essential for cancer development/progression and aberrant TERT promoter methylation of specific 5′—C—phosphate—G—3′...
