Promoter hypermethylation inactivates CDKN2A, CDKN2B and RASSF1A genes in sporadic parathyroid adenomas
5 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
Cyclin D1, a G1-S phase regulator, is upregulated in parathyroid adenomas. Since cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, CDKN2A and CDKN2B, and RASSF1A (Ras-association domain family 1, isoform A) are involved in G1-S phase arrest and act as potential tumor suppressor genes, we aimed to study potential methylation-mediated inactivation of these genes in parathyroid adenomas. Gene expressions of cyclin D1...
