Aberrant Hypermethylation of Tumor Suppressor Genes in Pancreatic Endocrine Neoplasms
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Because histologic features can be unreliable in determining the malignant potential of pancreatic endocrine neoplasms (PENs), we characterized the methylation patterns of PENs to develop a molecular marker system useful for clinical prognosis. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Aberrant promoter methylation of tumor suppressor genes is associated with a loss of gene function that can afford selective growth...
