Abstract excerpt
The CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) occurs in many colorectal cancers (CRCs). CIMP is closely associated with global hypermethylation and tends to occur in proximal tumours with microsatellite instability (MSI), but its origins have been obscure. A few CRCs carry oncogenic (gain-of-function) mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH1. Whilst IDH1 is an established CRC driver gene, the low frequency of...
