ADAM12 is A Potential Therapeutic Target Regulated by Hypomethylation in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and currently lacks any effective targeted therapy. Since epigenetic alterations are a common event in TNBC, DNA methylation profiling can be useful for identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Here, genome-wide DNA methylation from eight TNBC and six non-neoplastic tissues was analysed using Illumina Human Methylation 450K BeadChip.
