Epigenetic Analysis in the Search for Tumor Suppressor Genes

Pages 489-493 | Published online: 05 Aug 2010
 

Abstract

“Although the epigenetic silencing by promoter hypermethylation and histone modifications is a well-known hallmark of many tumor suppressor genes, the majority of genes silenced by these epigenetic events in cancer cells could be passengers, not drivers, during tumor initiation and progression. Therefore, these silenced genes should be further investigated by analyzing their genetic lesions in tumor cells and functions in normal cells””
