DNA methylation profiles of primary colorectal carcinoma and matched liver metastasis.

The contribution of DNA methylation to the metastatic process in colorectal cancers (CRCs) is unclear.We evaluated the methylation status of 13 genes (MINT1, MINT2, MINT31, MLH1, p16, p14, TIMP3, CDH1, CDH13, THBS1, MGMT, HPP1 and ERα) by bisulfite-pyrosequencing in 79 CRCs comprising 36 CRCs withou...
