✦ Synopsis

During three seasons, 36 samples of foods served to mentally retarded clients with a high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma were analyzed for aflatoxin. Aflatoxin was not detected (less than 5 ppb) by thinlayer liquid chromatography in 35 food samples con- taining peanuts, corn, wheat or milk. One peanut butter sample contained 20 ppb aflatoxin. Aflatoxin content of these foods was at or below the level permitted by the Food and Drug Administration. Aflatoxin is probably not responsible for liver disease in this population.

In Japan, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers, with a reported fatality rate showing a consistent and significant increase in the last decade. At most, only 25% of HCC cases are positive for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). To investigate a potential role for

## Abstract Epigenetic changes in gene expression due to extensive CpG island methylation is now accepted as the main cause of inactivation of the __p16__ gene. More recently, it has been suggested that the human ras association domain family (RASSF) 1 gene, cloned from the lung tumor‐suppressor lo
