Aberrant Methylation of the E-Cadherin Gene Promoter Region in Endometrium and Ovarian Endometriotic Cysts of Patients with Ovarian Endometriosis
29 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
The loss of E-cadherin expression plays an important role in the development of endometriosis, but the molecular mechanism is not clear to date. It has been confirmed that the hypermethylation of the CpG island may be an important molecular mechanism in the transcriptional inactivation of E-cadherin gene (CDH1) in many cancers. The present study investigated the methylation status of CDH1 promoter region in...
