<i>GSTP1</i> CpG island hypermethylation as a molecular biomarker for prostate cancer
15 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Somatic hypermethylation of CpG island sequences at GSTP1, the gene encoding the pi-class glutathione S-transferase, appears to be characteristic of human prostatic carcinogenesis. To consider the potential utility of this epigenetic alteration as a biomarker for prostate cancer, we present here a comprehensive review of the literature describing somatic GSTP1 changes in DNA from prostate cells and tissues. GSTP1...
