Methylation analysis for multiple gene promoters in non-small cell lung cancers in high indoor air pollution region in China.

CONCLUSIONS: A panel of genes including CDKN2A, DLEC1, CDH1, DAPK and RUNX3 may be used as potential epigenetic biomarkers for early lung cancer detection. CDH1 promoter methylation was associated with lung cancer metastasis in areas of air pollution from buring of smoky coals. DLEC1 and CDH1 exhibited specific high methylation frequencies, different from previous reports. PMID: 30126609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
