Promoter hypermethylation of the CFTR gene and clinical/pathological features associated with non‐small cell lung cancer
17 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The exact role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in pathophysiology, and the mechanisms regulating its expression are poorly understood. The CFTR gene is known to be genetically or epigenetically associated with several cancers. In the present study, the methylation status of the promoter region of the CFTR gene and its expression in primary non-small cell...
