Comethylation of<i>p</i>16 and<i>MGMT</i>genes in colorectal carcinoma: Correlation with clinicopathological features and prognostic value
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the significance of p16 and O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) genes promoter hypermethylation and K-ras mutations on colorectal tumorigenesis and progression. METHODS: p16 and MGMT methylation status was examined on 47 tumor samples, and K-ras mutational status was examined on 85 tumor samples. For methylation analysis, a methylation specific PCR (MS-PCR) method was used....
