Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Epigenetic modifications are gaining focus due to their indirect association with tumorigenesis. DNA methylation plays a prime role in regulation of gene expression. Any aberrations in this gene family may lead to chromosomal instability and increased magnitude of tumour progression. In line with the above fact, the present study has been designed to identify genetic alterations in the genes of the...
