Aberrant DNA methylation of PAX1, SOX1 and ZNF582 genes as potential biomarkers for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly invasive malignant tumor and the majority of patients have advanced stage of ESCC at diagnosis with poor outcome. Identification of sensitive and specific biomarkers for early screening of ESCC is critical for improving patient overall survival. METHODS: Pyrosequencing was used to determine the magnitude of DNA methylation on the selected regions...
