Coordinated Cancer Germline Antigen Promoter and Global DNA Hypomethylation in Ovarian Cancer: Association with the BORIS/CTCF Expression Ratio and Advanced Stage
4 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cancer germline (CG) antigens are frequently expressed and hypomethylated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), but the relationship of this phenomenon to global DNA hypomethylation is unknown. In addition, the potential mechanisms leading to DNA hypomethylation, and its clinicopathologic significance in EOC, have not been determined. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used quantitative mRNA expression and DNA...
