Abstract excerpt
Silencing of hMLH1 expression by aberrant hMLH1 promoter methylation accounts for the majority of sporadic colon cancers with microsatellite instability. We have previously shown hMLH1 silencing is biallelic and actively maintained. To study the mechanism of aberrant hMLH1 methylation, we assayed whether an hMLH1 methylated cell could transfer methylation and silencing to an exogenous hMLH1 promoter in somatic...
