<h4>Background & aims</h4>Epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes contributes to the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To identify clinically relevant tumor suppressor genes silenced by DNA methylation in HCC, we integrated DNA methylation data from human primary HCC samples with data on up-regulation of gene expression after epigenetic unmasking.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed genome-wide methylation analysis of 71 human HCC samples using the Illumina HumanBeadchip27K array; d ...[more]
