Abstract:
DNA methylation-based epigenetic signatures have become valuable cancer biomarkers. We highlight the advantages of liquid biopsy based DNA-methylation profiling for noninvasive diagnosis of early stage cancers and discuss the advanced analytical approaches developed by commercial and academic partnerships.

Epigenetic Regulation
3.6K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.
