Abstract excerpt
Recently, RASSF2A was identified as a potential tumor suppressor epigenetically inactivated in human cancers. Here, we evaluated the methylation status of RASSF2A in colorectal cancer (CRC) and analyzed its correlation with K-ras/BRAF mutations, microsatellite instability status and other clinicopathological features. Using methylation-specific PCR and bisulfite sequencing, we analyzed the methylation status in...
