Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CpG island hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes is highly involved in gastric carcinogenesis, and enhanced cell proliferation could accelerate this process. Cyclin D1 regulates cell cycle function and may play a role in methylation-related carcinogenesis. AIMS: We investigated the association between Cyclin D1 gene G870A polymorphism and the methylation status of tumor suppressor genes in...
