Dietary methyl donors might influence DNA methylation during carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Among 609 CRC cases and 1,663 subcohort members of the Netherlands Cohort Study on diet and cancer (__n__Β =Β 120,852), we estimated CRC risk according to methyl donor intake across genotypes of fol
We report that CpG island methylation, an epigenetic modification of DNA known to correlate closely with silencing of gene transcription, appears in the oestrogen receptor (ER) gene in a subpopulation of cells which increases as a direct function of age in human colonic mucosa. This same methylation
## Abstract It has been proposed that dietary factors such as folate, alcohol and methionine may be associated with colon cancer because of their involvement in DNA methylation processes. Data from a large populationβbased caseβcontrol study of incident colon cancer were used to evaluate whether in
