Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) are common across the age spectrum, but the BRAF mutant cancers arising occur predominantly in the elderly. Aberrant DNA methylation is uncommon in SSL from young patients. Here, we interrogate the role of ageing and DNA methylation in SSL initiation and progression. DESIGN: We used an inducible model of Braf mutation to direct recombination of the oncogenic Braf V637E...
