Hypermethylation of multiple tumor-related genes associated with DMNT3b up-regulation served as a biomarker for early diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
1 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to determine the significance of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) in DNA hypermethylation in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to identify DNA methylation markers in serum for the early diagnosis of ESCC. A promoter methylation profile of 12 tumor-related genes was assessed using methylation-specific PCR in ESCC and paired non-tumor tissue samples from 47 patients. Expression...
