Detection of LINE-1 hypomethylation in cfDNA of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Patients
24 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation plays an important role in cancer development. Cancer cells exhibit two types of DNA methylation alteration: site-specific hypermethylation at promoter of oncosuppressor genes and global DNA hypomethylation. This study evaluated the methylation patterns of long interspersed nuclear element (LINE-1) sequences which, due to their relative abundance in the genome, are considered a good surrogate...
