Abstract Background There is a need for new noninvasive risk assessment tools for use in lung cancer population screening and prevention programs. Methods To investigate the technical feasibility of determining DNA methylation in exhaled breath condensate we applied our previously-developed method for tag-adapted bisulfite genomic DNA sequencing tBGS for mapping of DNA methylation and adapted it to exhaled breath condensate EBC from lung cancer cases and non-cancer controls. Promoter methylation patterns were analyzed in DAPK RASSFIA and PAX5P promoters in EBC samples from 54 individuals comprised of
