Circulating DNA in the Blood of Gastric Cancer Patients
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The concentration of cell-free DNA and promoter methylation status of the MGMT, p15, and hMLH1 genes were analyzed by a fluorescence-based assay and methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in the blood of gastric cancer patients (n= 20) and healthy subjects (n= 22). Gastric cancer patients were characterized by an increased concentration of circulating DNA in the plasma; the amount of cell-surface-bound DNA was not...
