Methylation of OPCML promoter in ovarian cancer tissues predicts poor patient survival
10 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a lethal gynecological malignancy largely due to the lack of biomarkers for early detection and treatment options. Opioid binding protein/cell adhesion molecule-like gene (OPCML) has a tumor-suppressor function in ovarian cancer, and epigenetic inactivation of OPCML induces oncogenic transformation of human ovarian surface epithelial cells. METHODS: This study investigated OPCML...
