Abstract excerpt
Deregulated DNA methylation leading to transcriptional inactivation of certain genes occurs frequently in non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). As well as protein-coding genes, microRNA (miRNA)-coding genes may be targets for methylation in NSCLCs; however, the number of known methylated miRNA genes is still small. Thus, we investigated methylation of miRNA genes in primary tumour (TU) samples and corresponding...
