Abstract excerpt
CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) involves methylation targeted toward the promoters of multiple genes. We determined a methylation profile of tumor-related genes in serum of sporadic breast cancer (SBC). The multigene methylation was examined by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction assay in serum of 50 SBCs and 50 paired nontumors, and CIMP+ was defined as having three genes that are concordantly...
