Wnt Antagonist Family Genes as Biomarkers for Diagnosis, Staging, and Prognosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma Using Tumor and Serum DNA
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We hypothesized that combined methylation analysis of Wnt antagonist genes could serve as a panel of biomarkers for diagnosis, staging, and prognosis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Samples (n = 62) of RCC and corresponding normal renal tissue (NRT) were analyzed using methylation-specific PCR for methylation of six Wnt antagonist genes (sFRP-1, sFRP-2, sFRP-4, sFRP-5, Wif-1, and...
