Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic silencing of specific genes is associated with cancer progression. CpG islands are present at higher frequency in promoter regions, their methylation leading to gene underexpression. Pyrosequencing provides sequencing analysis of genetic markers, e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms and DNA methylation. We investigated methylation levels of a spectrum of neoplastic breast lesions, ranging from...
