Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation contribute to progression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to life-threatening hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by promoting the silencing of tumor suppressor genes through DNA hypermethylation and by causing genomic instability through global hypomethylation. However few studies have addressed the promoter region hypomethylation status of the oncogenes involved...
