Epigenomic Diversity of Colorectal Cancer Indicated by LINE-1 Methylation in a Database of 869 Tumors
Baba, Yoshifumi; Huttenhower, Curtis; Nosho, Katsuhiko; Tanaka, Noriko; Shima, Kaori; Hazra, Aditi; Schernhammer, Eva S; Hunter, David J.; Giovannucci, Edward L.; Fuchs, Charles Stewart; Ogino, Shuji (BioMed Central, 2010)Background: Genome-wide DNA hypomethylation plays a role in genomic instability and carcinogenesis. LINE-1 (L1 retrotransposon) constitutes a substantial portion of the human genome, and LINE-1 methylation correlates with ... -
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 expression, but not its genetic amplification, is associated with tumor growth and worse survival in esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma
