## Abstract Hypermethylator phenotype, a propensity of tumors to incur nonrandom concurrent methylation, has been described in several tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). More recent studies identified methylation of other tumor suppressor genes, DAPβkinase and SOCS1, singly in AML. We

## Abstract The role of aberrant tumor suppressor gene methylation in the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has not been documented. By showing promoter methylationβinduced gene silencing in PTCβderived cell lines, we first demonstrated the functional consequence of methylation of se
Alterations of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene have been observed in a variety of human and mouse tumors. For investigation of the role of this gene in tumors of cats, feline p53 cDNA was molecularly cloned from a feline lymph-node cDNA library. The cloned cDNA (FF53) contained the whole open reading
To identify whether alterations of the p16 tumor suppressor gene are a common event in localized prostate cancer, we examined the frequency of p16 gene mutations in 30 primary tumors. Only two tumors demonstrated altered single-strand conformation polymorphism patterns for exon 2 of p16. In both cas
Aberrant DNA methylation is an important epigenetic alteration in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular processes underlying the methylator phenotype and the contribution of hepatitis viruses are poorly understood. The current study is a comprehensive methylation analysis of human l
