Quantitative methylation-specific PCR for the detection of aberrant DNA methylation in liquid-based Pap tests
7 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrant promoter methylation of selective tumor suppressor genes has been detected in squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and invasive cervical cancer. Identification of methylation profiles of genes that can distinguish high-grade SIL (HSIL) from low-grade SIL (LSIL), and cytologically negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM) residual liquid-based Papanicolaou (Pap) tests may be...
