<i>SLC5A8</i> , a sodium transporter, is a tumor suppressor gene silenced by methylation in human colon aberrant crypt foci and cancers
26 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
We identify a gene, SLC5A8, and show it is a candidate tumor suppressor gene whose silencing by aberrant methylation is a common and early event in human colon neoplasia. Aberrant DNA methylation has been implicated as a component of an epigenetic mechanism that silences genes in human cancers. Using restriction landmark genome scanning, we performed a global search to identify genes that would be aberrantly...
