Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: DNMT3B overexpression has been linked with the CpG island methylator phenotype in various cancers. Considering the role of the DNMT3b -149C/T promoter polymorphism on the gene expression, we evaluated the associations of this polymorphism with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and hypermethylation of six tumor suppressor genes in CRC tumors. METHODS: The DNMT3b was genotyped by PCR-RFLP in 108 sporadic CRC...
