Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 3p21 is frequent in cervical cancers. The candidate tumor suppressor gene, RASSF1A located at 3p21.3, is found to be inactivated in several major human cancers, implicating its significance in carcinogenesis. We aimed to investigate the status of RASSF1A in cervical cancers. The mutation and methylation status of RASSF1A were analysed in 4 cervical cancer cell lines, 50...
