Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) methylation status is a marker for global DNA methylation. However, the relationship between LINE-1 methylation and the biology of lung adenocarcinoma remains unclear. Here, we aimed to examine the role of LINE-1 in lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: LINE-1 methylation levels were quantified by bisulfite pyrosequencing of resected tumor specimens from...
