Differential Methylation Hybridization Array of Endometrial Cancers Reveals Two Novel Cancer-Specific Methylation Markers

Abstract

The 5' CpG islands for SESN3 and TITF1 are novel cancer-specific methylation markers. Methylation at these loci is strongly associated with aberrant MLH1 methylation in endometrial cancers. SESN3, TITF1 and MLH1 methylation did not predict overall survival or disease-free survival in this large cohort of patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer.
