A research team co-led by investigators at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Virginia has identified associations between DNA methylation and cancer risk. DNA methylation is an epigenetic change—the addition of 'methyl groups' to DNA—that can affect gene expression without changing the DNA sequence.
Epigenetic change to DNA associated with cancer risk in 'multi-omics' study retrieved 9 August 2024 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-08-epigenetic-dna-cancer-multi-omics.html
