Increased epigenetic age in normal breast tissue from luminal breast cancer patients
29 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Age is one of the most important risk factors for developing breast cancer. However, age-related changes in normal breast tissue that potentially lead to breast cancer are incompletely understood. Quantifying tissue-level DNA methylation can contribute to understanding these processes. We hypothesized that occurrence of breast cancer should be associated with an acceleration of epigenetic aging in...
