The DNA methylation landscape of five pediatric-tumor types
2021-08-03
Abstract excerpt
Fewer DNA mutations have been identified in pediatric tumors than adult tumors, suggesting that alternative tumorigenic mechanisms, including aberrant DNA methylation, may play a prominent role in pediatric tumors. Methylation is an epigenetic process of regulating gene expression in which methyl groups are attached to DNA molecules, often in promoter regions. In Wilms tumors and acute myeloid leukemias, increased...
