Hypermethylation of RUNX3 but not WIF1 gene and its association with stage and nodal status of tongue cancers
13 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recent studies indicate various molecular abnormalities in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC), including DNA methylation of tumor-associated genes. Although promoter hypermethylation of Wnt pathway antagonists RUNX3 (Runt-related transcription factor 3) and Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) has been identified as a common event in a number of carcinomas, methylation status and the role of RUNX3 as a...
