Abstract excerpt
High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) is the most likely precursor of prostate adenocarcinoma, but the frequency and timing of epigenetic changes found in prostate carcinogenesis has not been extensively documented. Thus, the promoters of three genes (APC, GSTP1, and RARbeta2) involved in prostate carcinogenesis were tested by quantitative methylation-specific PCR in tissue DNA from 30 prostate...
