Validation of the MethylationEPIC BeadChip for fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumours (450K)


ABSTRACT: DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic modification due to its role in regulating gene expression and aberrations in methylation involved in the pathogenesis of cancer and several diseases. The method of choice to evaluate genome-wide methylation has been the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (450K), but it was recently replaced with the MethylationEPIC BeadChip (EPIC). We therefore sought to validate the EPIC array in comparison to the 450K array for both fresh-frozen (FF) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) pediatric brain tumors. We also performed analysis on the EPIC array with paired FF and FFPE samples, to adapt to a clinical setting where FFPE is routinely used. Further, we compared two restoration methods, REPLI-g and Infinium, for FFPE-derived DNA on the EPIC array.
