Prevalence of autoimmune disease and associated 5-hydroxymethylcytosine cell-free DNA patterns in appendiceal neoplasms
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports the prevalence of autoimmune disease among patients with appendiceal neoplasms.
- The study also examines 5-hydroxymethylcytosine patterns in cell-free DNA in these patients.
- Only the title and feed listing were available; no summary was provided.
Why it matters
It links autoimmune disease to appendiceal tumours and a blood-based DNA marker, which may matter for researchers working on cancer biomarkers.
