Promoter Hypermethylation Profile of Kidney Cancer
15 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Promoter hypermethylation is an important mechanism of inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in cancer cells. Kidney tumors are heterogeneous in their histology, genetics, and clinical behavior. To gain insight into the role of epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor and cancer genes in kidney tumorigenesis, we determined a hypermethylation profile of kidney cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We examined the...
