Detection of Hypermethylated Genes in Women with and Without Cervical Neoplasia
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation changes are an early event in carcinogenesis and are often present in the precursor lesions of various cancers. We examined whether DNA methylation changes might be used as markers of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive cervical cancer (ICC). METHODS: We used methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze promoter hypermethylation of 20 genes,...
