Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Promoter methylation, which can be regulated by MTHFR activity, is associated with silencing of genes. In this study we evaluated the methylation status (type) of the BRCA2 promoter in ovarian cancer patients carrying different genotypes of the MTHFR gene (A or C polymorphisms at position 1298). METHODS: The methylation type of the BRCA2 promoter was evaluated using bisulfate-modified DNA in...
