Quantitative analysis of the relationship between microRNA‑124a, -34b and -203 gene methylation and cervical oncogenesis
5 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of mortality in women. Molecular and epidemiological data have unequivocally confirmed that high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a major etiological agent of this malignancy, as host epigenetic alterations are induced in response to viral infection. The present study evaluated the methylation status of CpG islands surrounding miR-124a, miR-34b and miR-203 in 29 cervical...
