Epigenetics in diagnosis of colorectal cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a third most common epithelial carcinoma. CRC is known to develop from the early precancerous lesion to full blown malignancy via definite phases due to cumulative mutations and aberrant methylation of number of genes. The use of serum biomarkers that is non-invasive to discriminate cancer patients from healthy persons will prove to be an important tool to improve the early diagnosis of CRC. This will serve as the boon to the clinical management of the disease.

متن کاملEpigenetics and Colorectal Cancer Pathogenesis
Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops through a multistage process that results from the progressive accumulation of genetic mutations, and frequently as a result of mutations in the Wnt signaling pathway. However, it has become evident over the past two decades that epigenetic alterations of the chromatin, particularly the chromatin components in the promoter regions of tumor suppressors and oncoge...
متن کاملGenetics, Cytogenetics, and Epigenetics of Colorectal Cancer
Most of the colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are sporadic, only 25% of the patients have a family history of the disease, and major genes causing syndromes predisposing to CRC only account for 5-6% of the total cases. The following subtypes can be recognized: MIN (microsatellite instability), CIN (chromosomal instability), and CIMP (CpG island methylator phenotype). CIN occurs in 80-85% of CRC. Ch...
متن کاملInvestigating the biomarker role of piRNAs in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer
Background & objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastric cancer and third lethal cancer worldwide. Despite development in diagnostic and treatment methods, due to the lack of typical symptoms in the early stages, most patients are diagnosed in the end stages. Therefore, finding simple, inexpensive, highly sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for early detection and prog...
متن کاملEpigenetics – Role as Biomarker in Cancer Diagnosis
Cancer is a disease either caused by genetic mutation or epigenetic modifications at the transcription level. Disease diagnosis at the early stage is a challenging step to be taken care for improving the outcome of patient survival. Latest advances has renewed interest and ended in the development of different potential biomarkers. Biomarkers of cancer include DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, sugars...
