Frequent promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional downregulation of the <i>NDRG2</i> gene at 14q11.2 in primary glioblastoma
15 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) at 14q11.2 has been reported to be downregulated in glioblastoma, and NDRG2 overexpression represses glioblastoma cell proliferation in vitro (Deng et al., Int J Cancer 2003;106;342-7). To further address the role of NDRG2 as a candidate tumor suppressor in human gliomas, we analyzed 67 astrocytic tumors (10 diffuse astrocytomas, 11 anaplastic astrocytomas, 34 primary...
