Abstract excerpt
Genetic mutations in exons of oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes causing qualitative abnormalities result in activation of the oncogenes and inactivation of the tumor-suppressor genes, thereby causing cancer. In contrast, we have previously demonstrated that decreases in the RB promoter activity by genetic or epigenetic abnormalities can also cause carcinogenesis. In addition, activation and inactivation of a...
