Disease-associated DNA methylation signatures in esophageal biopsies of children diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis
17 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children and adults. The diagnosis relies on histological examination of esophageal mucosal biopsies and requires the presence of > 15 eosinophils per high-powered field. Potential pitfalls include the impact of biopsy sectioning as well as regional variations of eosinophil density. We performed genome-wide DNA methylation...
