Promoter hypermethylation of neural-related genes is compatible with stemness in solid cancers

Abstract Background DNA hypermethylation is an epigenetic feature that modulates gene expression, and its deregulation is observed in cancer. Previously, we identified a neural-related DNA hypermethylation fingerprint in colon cancer, where most of the top hypermethylated and downregulated genes hav...
