## Abstract Tumor cells are characterized by specific genetic alterations. When such genetic alterations are identified in body fluid including plasma, regardless of the presence of detectable tumor cells, it shows the existence of freeβcirculating tumorβassociated DNA. The objective of our study w
Using different molecular techniques, DNA has been shown to be present in plasma of patients with several types of tumors. Mutations of TP53 are the most common genetic changes in human cancers. We investigated the presence of TP53 gene mutations in plasma DNA of breast and small cell lung cancer pa
## Abstract We developed a novel quantitative assay to test the hypothesis that defects in DNA cytosine methylation might be responsible for the brain chromatin abnormalities and transcriptional alterations observed in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We found no significant difference in pe
