Development of a liquid biopsy based purely quantitative digital droplet PCR assay for detection of MLH1 promoter methylation in colorectal cancer patients
9 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MutL Homolog 1 (MLH1) promotor methylation is associated with microsatellite instability high colorectal cancer (CRC). The strong correlation between methylation status and cancer development and progression has led to a growing interest in the use of methylation markers in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for early cancer detection and longitudinal monitoring. As cancer-specific DNA methylation changes...
