Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation profile in detecting breast cancer (BC) and its different subtypes. We investigated whether plasma cfDNA methylation, using cell-free Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation and High-Throughput Sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq), may be informative in characterizing breast cancer in patients with BRCA1/2 germline mutations for...
