DNA methylation alterations in urothelial carcinoma
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
In urothelial cancer, hypermethylation of specific genes and genome-wide hypomethylation, reflected in decreased methylation of LINE-1 retrotransposons, have both been reported, but were never investigated in the same specimens. We analyzed hypermethylation of six genes by methylation-specific PCR and LINE-1 hypomethylation by Southern blotting in 96 carcinoma tissues. Hypermethylation frequencies were: SFRP1...
