Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CpG island hypermethylation of gene promoters is a well-known mechanism of epigenetic regulation of tumor related-genes and is directly linked to lung carcinogenesis. Alterations in the pattern of methylation of the NPTX1 gene have not yet been studied in detail in human lung cancer. METHODS: Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) were used to analyze promoter methylation...
