Combination Analysis of Hypermethylated Wnt-Antagonist Family Genes as a Novel Epigenetic Biomarker Panel for Bladder Cancer Detection
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of Wnt-antagonist genes contributes to the pathogenesis of several cancers. We hypothesized that combined methylation analysis of Wnt-antagonist genes could improve their use as a panel of biomarkers for diagnosing and staging of bladder cancers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Samples (54 total) of bladder tumor and corresponding normal bladder mucosa were analyzed for the...
