Abstract excerpt
The proposed role of CDH1 (E-cadherin gene) methylation as a mechanism of gene inactivation in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) remains inconclusive. For many years, CDH1 promoter hypermethylation has been regarded as a mechanism for gene inactivation in ILC. However, this assumption has primarily relied on non-quantitative assays, which have reported CDH1 methylation frequencies ranging from 26 to 93% at CpG...
