<h4>Purpose</h4>The human epigenome is profoundly altered in cancers, with a characteristic loss of methylation in repetitive regions and concomitant accumulation of gene promoter methylation. The degree to which these processes are coordinated is unclear so we investigated both in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.<h4>Experimental design</h4>Global methylation was measured using the luminometric methylation assay (LUMA) and pyrosequencing of LINE-1Hs and AluYb8 repetitive elements in a ser ...[more]
