The Patched gene is epigenetically regulated in ovarian dermoids and fibromas, but not in basocellular carcinomas
1 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The Hedgehog/Patched signaling pathway plays a prominent role during mammalian development but it is also involved in oncogenic transformation. We investigated the methylation status of the Patched promotor in a set of basocellular carcinomas of the skin and ovarian tumors as an alternative to mutational causes of the pathway deregulation. Our aim was to define a possible role of genetic and/or epigenetic...
