Article Title: Epigenetic investigation of multifocal small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours reveals accelerated ageing of tumours and epigenetic alteration of metabolic genes
doi: 10.1101/2024.12.02.626017
Figure Lengend Snippet: In this study, genome-wide DNA methylation of 100 samples from 11 patients was assessed. Each patient had multiple primary small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (ranging from 2-16 per patient), and a subset of 9 patients had a matched normal small intestinal epithelial sample assessed. A subset of 8 patients also had metastases originating from their SI-NETs (ranging from 1-2 per patient). DNA methylation data was used to assess differential methylation relating to the multifocal tumours, the epigenetic clock was used to assess the ‘timing’ of tumour development and metabolic traits predicted by DNA methylation were compared between samples.
