BACKGROUND/AIMS: Alteration in transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway is one of the main causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The human runt-related transcription factor 3 gene (RUNX3) is an important component of this pathway. RUNX3 locus 1p36 is commonly deleted in a variety of human cancers, including HCC. Therefore, we examined genetic and epigenetic alterations of RUNX3 in human HCC. METHODS:...
