Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To study the methylation status of genes that play a role in the p53-Bax mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and its clinical significance in cholangiocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Out of 36 cases cholangiocarcinoma patients from April 2000 to May 2005 were collected.Promoter hypermethylation of DAPK, p14(ARF), and ASC were detected by methylation-specific PCR on cholangiocarcinoma and normal adjacent...
