Abstract excerpt
CBP/p300-interacting transactivator with ED-rich carboxy-terminal domain 4 (CITED4) inhibits HIF-1α transactivation by binding to CBP/p300. We hypothesised that either somatic mutation or hypermethylation of the CITED4 gene underlies CITED4 down-regulation and thus enhanced HIF-1α expression in some breast tumours. DNA sequencing was used to screen for somatic mutations. Methylation-sensitive high resolution...
