DNA methylation status of the MUC1 gene coding for a breast-cancer-associated protein.

Abstract excerpt

The MUC1 gene codes for protein products that are highly expressed in human breast-cancer tissue and that serve as tumor markers for disease progression. The factors contributing to the disease-specific over-expression of the MUC1 gene are under intensive investigation and are yet to be determined. A large transcribed region of the human MUC1 gene is a CpG island that consists of 60-bp tandemly repeating units,...
