Abstract:Aberrant DNA methylation is commonly heralded as a promising cancer biomarker; however, its inherently stochastic nature often leads to variable methylation patterns that can complicate the use of methylation 2 biomarkers for clinical diagnostics, particularly in dilute samples such as liquid biopsies. Here, we present a methylation density binary classifier, a statistical method for leveraging differential heterogeneous methylation to predict and optimize the performance of methylation biomarkers for clinical… Show more
