Abstract excerpt
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality across the world and tobacco smoking is the major risk factor. The Wnt signaling pathway is known to be involved in smoke-induced tumorigenesis in the lung. Promoter hypermethylation of Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (Wif1) has become a common event in a number of human tumors. Using a methylation-specific PCR, hypermethylation of the Wif1 gene promoter was...
