Integrating the Epigenome to Identify Drivers of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Ryan A. Hlady, Aishwarya Sathyanarayan, Joyce J. Thompson, Dan Zhou, Qunfeng Wu, Kien Pham, Jeong‐Heon Lee, Chen Liu, Keith D. Robertson – 22 August 2018 – Disruption of epigenetic mechanisms has been intimately linked to the etiology of human cancer. Understanding how these epigenetic mechanisms (including DNA methylation [5mC], hydroxymethylation [5hmC], and histone post‐translational modifications) work in concert to drive cancer initiation and progression remains unknown. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing in frequency in Western countries but lacks efficacious treatments.
