Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA mutations occur randomly and sporadically in growth-related genes, mostly on cytosines. Demethylation of cytosines may lead to genetic instability through spontaneous deamination. Aims were whole genome methylation and targeted mutation analysis of colorectal cancer (CRC)-related genes and mRNA expression analysis of TP53 pathway genes. METHODS: Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) BS-PCR...
