Correlation of promoter hypermethylation in hTERT, DAPK and MGMT genes with cervical oncogenesis progression
5 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
DNA hypermethylation occurs during the multistep process of cervical carcinogenesis. We investigated whether the methylation status in the promoter region of a potential oncogene, the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), and the tumor suppressor genes death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) and O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), were able to distinguish the early from late stages of cervical...
