Genome-wide methylation analysis identifies a core set of hypermethylated genes in CIMP-H colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Aberrant DNA methylation profiles are a characteristic of all known cancer types, epitomized by the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Hypermethylation has been observed at CpG islands throughout the genome, but it is unclear which factors determin...
