Abstract excerpt
Despite the role of DNMT3B in de novo DNA methylation, a correlation between DNMT3B expression and promoter DNA methylation has not being established in tumors. We recently reported DeltaDNMT3B, a subfamily of DNMT3B, with seven variants, as the predominant expression forms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesized that expression of the DeltaDNMT3B variants plays a role in promoter methylation...
