Promoter methylation as a common mechanism for inactivating E‐cadherin in human salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma
26 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of promoter methylation in the inactivation of E-cadherin (E-cad) in salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the role and potential clinical implications of promoter methylation of E-cad in salivary gland ACC. METHODS: The promoter methylation status of E-cad was determined by using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction...
