CpG Island Hypermethylation of Tumor‐Suppressor Genes in H. pylori‐Infected Non‐Neoplastic Gastric Mucosa Is Linked with Gastric Cancer Risk
14 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Gastric carcinogenesis involves CpG island hypermethylation (CIHM) of tumor-suppressor genes. Although the CIHM of these genes occurs in non-neoplastic gastric cells, it is unclear whether this epigenetic alteration is linked with aging and/or gastric cancer risk. We investigated this linkage in noncancerous gastric mucosa infected with H. pylori. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Noncancerous corpus...
