Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes involved in critical regulatory pathways for developing a blood-based test in breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: Aberrant DNA methylation patterns might be used as a biomarker for diagnosis and management of cancer patients. METHODS AND FINDINGS: To achieve a gene panel for developing a breast cancer blood-based test we quantitatively assessed the DNA methylation proportion of 248 CpG sites per sam...
