Abstract
Introduction: Recent work on dysplastic lesions has shown that promoter methylation may be a predictive biomarker for malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma. Saliva shows promise as a tumour surrogate, but has not been investigated in the context of dysplasia. We investigated two methods of saliva collection for DNA yield and quality, as determined by epigenetic marker analysis, and the logistics of collection and storage.
