Specific detection of cell-free DNA derived from intestinal epithelial cells using methylation patterns
2018-09-05
Abstract excerpt
Epithelial cells of the intestine undergo rapid turnover and are thought to be cleared via stool. Disruption of tissue architecture, as occurs in colorectal cancer (CRC), results in the release of material from dying intestinal epithelial cells to blood. This phenomenon could be utilized for diagnosis and monitoring of intestinal diseases, if circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) derived from intestinal cells could be...
