Comprehensive DNA methylation and extensive mutation analyses reveal an association between the CpG island methylator phenotype and oncogenic mutations in gastric cancers

Highlights ► Comprehensive analysis of methylated genes revealed high variability in their numbers in gastric cancers (GCs). ► Analysis of 55 known cancer-related genes by personal sequencer revealed that 63% of GCs had one somatic mutation or more. ► The association between the CIMP and oncogene mu...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► Comprehensive analysis of methylated genes revealed high variability in their numbers in gastric cancers (GCs). ► Analysis of 55 known cancer-related genes by personal sequencer revealed that 63% of GCs had one somatic mutation or more. ► The association between the CIMP and oncogene mutations was revealed for the first time in GCs.
