Differential methylation of G-protein coupled receptor signaling genes in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors

Abstract Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the small intestine undergo large chromosomal and methylation changes. The objective of this study was to identify methylation differences in NETs and consider how the differentially methylated genes may impact patient survival. Genome-wide methylation and ch...
