CpG hypermethylation of promoter region and inactivation of E‐cadherin gene in human bladder cancer
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Several studies have shown that E-cadherin expression is lost during malignant transformation. We hypothesized that CpG methylation in the promoter region may inactivate the expression of the E-cadherin gene in human bladder cancer. Normal and bladder cancer samples from 51 patients were compared in terms of E-cadherin gene expression and methylation status by immunohistochemistry, methylation-specific polymerase...
