Urothelial carcinomas arising in arsenic‐contaminated areas are associated with hypermethylation of the gene promoter of the death‐associated protein kinase
22 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The mechanisms of urothelial carcinogenesis in areas highly contaminated with arsenic remain unclear. The aim was to determine whether hypermethylation of death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) gene is associated with chronic arsenic exposure. METHODS AND RESULTS: The frequency of aberrant promoter methylation of DAPK in 17 urothelial carcinomas from an arsenic-contaminated area and 21 urothelial carcinomas...
