Analysis of <i>HIC‐1</i> methylation and transcription in human ependymomas
15 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Ependymomas are among the most common brain tumors in children. They develop from ependymal cells lining the ventricular system of the CNS. Previous studies have demonstrated a significant rate of allelic loss at chromosome 17p13.3. The HIC-1 putative tumor-suppressor gene, which exhibits hypermethylation and loss of expression in various tumor entities including medulloblastomas and gliomas, maps to the affected...
