Age-Related DNA Methylation Changes in Normal Human Prostate Tissues
1 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among the aging male population but the mechanism underlying this association is unclear. Aberrant methylation of promoter CpG islands is associated with silencing of genes and age-dependent methylation of several genes has been proposed as a risk factor for sporadic cancer. We examined the extent of gene methylation in pathologically normal human...
