Alterations of PTEN and SMAD4 methylation in diagnosis of breast cancer: implications of methyl II PCR assay

Abstract Background Diagnosis of breast cancer is more complicated due to lack of minimal invasive biomarker with sufficient precision. DNA methylation is a promising marker for cancer diagnosis. In this study, authors evaluated methylation patterns for PTEN and SMAD4 in blood samples using EpiTect...
