Aberrant methylation also occurs as a consequence of aging.[1] However, half of the genes that show age-related methylation are the exact genes involved in colorectal cancer.[2] These findings may suggest a reason for age being associated with the increased risk of developing colorectal cancer.[citation needed]
Epigenetic alterations involved in the development of colorectal cancer may affect patients' response to chemotherapy. [3]

[edit]Thanks for sharing your suggestions. I added a citation needed tag to one of your sentences above. I also fixed one spacing error with your reference. In general your formatting looks great. Can you add some wikilinks to methylation, aberrant etc? Is there a way to present this more in lay terminology so someone without a background in medical science can understand? Great work so far!
