Unique association between global DNA hypomethylation and chromosomal alterations in human hepatocellular carcinoma.
Global DNA hypomethylation is a characteristic feature of cancer cells that closely associates with chromosomal instability (CIN). However, the association between these characteristics during hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear. Herein, we determined the relationship between hypomethylation and CI...

Global DNA hypomethylation is a characteristic feature of cancer cells that closely associates with chromosomal instability (CIN).
