Abstract excerpt
As combinations of genetic and/or epigenetic alterations occurring during salivary gland carcinogenesis are largely unknown, we here analyzed 36 salivary gland carcinomas (SGCs) for changes in INK4a/ARF, RB1, p21, p27, PTEN, p53, MDM2 and O6-MGMT genes using methylation specific PCR (MSP), loss of heterozygosity (LOH) assays and mutational analysis with immunohistochemistry (IHC), as well as histone H3 and H4...
