Promoter hypermethylation of FANCF and outcome in advanced ovarian cancer
1 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
The Fanconi gene family has a role in DNA repair and inactivation of FANCF has been proposed as a mechanism of sensitisation to platinum chemotherapy. This study sought to confirm this hypothesis in cell lines and a large series of ovarian cancer samples. Promoter methylation was assessed by methylation-sensitive polymerase chain reaction of FANCF in nine ovarian cancer cell lines and 74 ovarian cancer samples...
