Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We determined the relation between promoter methylation and mRNA expression of the p53 target genes APAF-1 and DAPK-1 in 55 consecutive tumor and corresponding normal tissue samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tissue was taken from nonmetastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma at a median followup of 75 months. Quantitative methylation specific real-time polymerase chain reaction and quantitative real-time...
