摘要

Breast cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled celldivision of epithelial cells in the ducts or the lobules ofthe breast. The ducts and lobules are enclosed by abasement membrane, and during progression of the diseasethe invading cells will breach the membrane andinvade adjacent tissue. A tumor that is still enclosed inthe basement membrane is called a carcinoma in situ,while a tumor that has breached the basement membraneis called an invasive carcinoma. DNA methylationis a DNA modification where methyl groups are addedto CpG dinucleotides and thought to regulate geneexpression through blocking of transcription factorbinding or through chromatin remodeling. The aim ofthe study was to determine what genes get differentiallymethylated when the cancer progresses from a less to amore aggressive carcinoma. In addition, by applyingintegrated analysis of other molecular data such as geneexpression and copy number, we could investigate howmore elaborate biological processes change during progression.Being able to determine the processes thattake place during progression of breast cancer may givevaluable insight into cancer biology, as well as identificationof early markers of disease.
