Abstract excerpt
To determine the methylation profile of multiple tumor-related genes during multistep hepatocarcinogenesis, we investigated the methylation status of CpG islands of 9 genes, using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction for 60 paired hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and non-HCC liver tissue samples, 22 dysplastic nodule (DN), 30 liver cirrhosis (LC), 34 chronic hepatitis (CH) and 20 normal liver samples. The...
