The study of methylation and single nucleotide polymorphisms of cancer-related genes in patients with early-stage ulcerative colitis.

CONCLUSION: In the early stage of UC, the methylation rate of cancer-related genes RUNX3 and COX2 and SNPs TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-1 rs1143627 were not significantly different compared with healthy subjects. The methylation rate of RUNX3 in CRC increased, while the methylation rate of COX2 and SNPs TNF-α rs1800629 and IL-1 rs1143627 did not change significantly compared with the other two groups.
