Gene methylation profiles of normal mucosa, and benign and malignant colorectal tumors identify early onset markers (2008)

Ahlquist, Terje, Lind, Guro E, Costa, Vera L, Meling, Gunn I, Vatn, Morten, Hoff, Geir S, ...

Abstract Background Multiple epigenetic and genetic changes have been reported in colorectal tumors, but few of these have clinical impact. This study aims to pinpoint epigenetic markers that can...
