Inhibin-α gene mutations and mRNA levels in human lymphoid and myeloid leukemia cells.

Abstract excerpt

The inhibin-α gene was identified as a tumor suppressor gene in the gonads and adrenal glands by functional studies using knockout mice. Methylation of CpG sites within the regulatory regions of tumor suppressor gene is frequently associated with their transcriptional silencing. We investigated epigenetic modifications, changes in loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and mutation of the inhibin-α gene, and regulation of...
