23 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a benign neoplasm with an aggressive clinical behavior and a high recurrence rate. Although epigenetic alterations have been reported in different tumors, these events were not investigated in OKC yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of methylation in P16, P21, P27, P53 and RB1 genes in OKC tumors. METHODS: Methylation-specific polymerase chain...
