Cell-of-Origin DNA Methylation Signatures Are Maintained during Colorectal Carcinogenesis
1 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Colorectal adenomas are precursor lesions of colorectal cancers and represent clonal amplifications of single cells from colonic crypts. DNA methylation patterns specify cell-type identity during cellular differentiation and, therefore, provide opportunities for the molecular analysis of tumors. We have now analyzed DNA methylation patterns in colorectal adenomas and identified three biologically defined...
