Promoter Hypermethylation in Benign Breast Epithelium in Relation to Predicted Breast Cancer Risk
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The tumor suppressor genes RASSF1A, APC, H-cadherin, RARbeta2, and cyclin D2 are methylated more frequently in breast cancer than in adjacent benign tissue. However, it is unclear whether promoter methylation of tumor suppressor genes in benign breast tissue is associated with an increased risk for breast cancer. METHODS: Promoter hypermethylation was measured in benign and malignant breast samples...
