## Abstract Germline mutations in the tumorβsuppressor gene __PTEN__ (__MMAC1, TEP1__) are found in Cowden syndrome, which predisposes to hamartomas, breast cancer, trichilemmomas, and thyroid tumors of follicular epithelium. __PTEN__ has also been found to be somatically deleted, mutated, and/or s
## Abstract Aberrant DNA methylation is associated with many types of human cancers. To identify genes silenced in human colorectal cancers, we performed a microarray analysis for genes whose expression was induced by treatment of HCT116 human colon cancer cells with a demethylating agent, 5βazaβ2β²
## Abstract Extensive hypermethylation and consecutive transcriptional silencing of tumorsuppressor genes have been documented in multiple tumor entities including breast cancer. In a microarray based genomeβwide methylation analysis of five sporadic breast carcinomas we identified a hypermethylate
