## Abstract The methylation status of cystatin M (__CST6__) gene in breast tumors was investigated and its prognostic significance as a novel breast cancer biomarker was evaluated. Using methylationβspecific PCR (MSP), __CST6__ promoter methylation was examined in 134 formalin fixed paraffinβembedd
## Abstract Loss of DNA mismatch repair occurs in a variety of malignancies and is associated with genomeβwide instability of microsatellite repeats, a molecular phenotype referred to as microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI is a consistent feature of colorectal and endometrial tumors from patients
Inherited susceptibility to breast cancer results from germline mutations in one of a number of genes including BRCA1. A significant number of BRCA1-linked familial breast cancer patients, however, have no detectable BRCA1 mutation. This could be due in part to the inability of commonly used mutatio
