Gene promoter and exon DNA methylation changes in colon cancer development – mRNA expression and tumor mutation alterations
Abstract Background DNA mutations occur randomly and sporadically in growth-related genes, mostly on cytosines. Demethylation of cytosines may lead to genetic instability through spontaneous deamination. Aims were whole genome methylation and targeted mutation analysis of colorectal cancer (CRC)-rel...
