Global and non‐random CpG‐island methylation in gastric carcinoma associated with Epstein‐Barr virus
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
DNA hypermethylation may play a primary role in the genesis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma (GC) (EBVaGC). Methylation-specific PCR targeting CpG-islands demonstrated markedly increased methylation of specific genes, such as p14, p15 and p16 genes, in EBVaGC in vivo. A high frequency of methylation was observed in an EBVaGC strain of severe combined immunodeficiency mice, and the...
