Abstract excerpt
In mouse models, loss of the candidate tumor suppressor gene Ubiquitin Specific Protease 44 (USP44) is associated with aneuploidy and cancer. USP44 is also transcriptionally silenced in human cancers. Here we investigated the molecular mechanism of USP44 silencing and whether this correlated with aneuploidy in colorectal adenomas. DNA methylation at the USP44 CpG island (CGI) promoter was measured using combined...
