20 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Progression of breast cancer involves both genetic and epigenetic factors. Parkin gene has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Nevertheless, the putative role of Parkin in breast cancer remains largely unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the regulation of Parkin through both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in breast carcinoma. METHOD: A total of 156 breast...
