Detection of Methylated Apoptosis-Associated Genes in Urine Sediments of Bladder Cancer Patients
15 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There is increasing evidence for a fundamental role for epigenetic silencing of apoptotic pathways in cancer. Changes in DNA methylation can be detected with a high degree of sensitivity, so we used the MethyLight assay to determine how methylation patterns of apoptosis-associated genes change during bladder carcinogenesis and whether DNA methylation could be detected in urine sediments. EXPERIMENTAL...
