Quantitative promoter methylation analysis of multiple cancer-related genes in renal cell tumors
23 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of cancer-associated genes occurs frequently during carcinogenesis and may serve as a cancer biomarker. In this study we aimed at defining a quantitative gene promoter methylation panel that might identify the most prevalent types of renal cell tumors. METHODS: A panel of 18 gene promoters was assessed by quantitative methylation-specific PCR (QMSP) in 85 primarily...
