CpG island methylation profiling in human salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma
11 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic event associated with physiologic and pathologic conditions, including cancer. Hypermethylation of CpG islands at active gene promoters leads to transcriptional repression, whereas hypomethylation is associated with gene overexpression. The aim of this study was to identify genes in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland strongly deregulated by...
