Quantitative Methylation-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction Gene Patterns in Urine Sediment Distinguish Prostate Cancer Patients From Control Subjects
17 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of several known or putative tumor suppressor genes occurs frequently during the pathogenesis of prostate cancers and is a promising marker for cancer detection. We sought to develop a test for prostate cancer based on a quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (QMSP) of multiple genes in urine sediment DNA. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We tested urine...
