After validation of our results by pyrosequencing, we found a good agreement with our findings. The BPIL3 and HBBP1 genes resulted hypomethylated in RC, whereas TIFPI2, ADHFE1, FLI1 and TLX1 were hypermethylated. An external validation by TCGA datasets confirmed the results.\n\nOur study, with external validation, has demonstrated the feasibility of using specific methylated DNA signatures for developing biomarkers in RC.", "doi": "10.2217/epi-2016-0044", "pmid": "27529132", "labels": {"National Genomics Infrastructure": "Service", "NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ Technology Platform)": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2017-05-08T07:59:20.630Z", "modified": "2020-01-21T13:56:01.934Z"}
