## Abstract The retinoblastoma protein‐interacting zinc finger gene, __RIZ1__ (GenBank accession number U17838), is involved in chromatin‐mediated gene expression and is also a target for frameshift mutation in microsatellite‐unstable cancers. Methylation of the __RIZ1__ promoter CpG island has bee

## Abstract T‐cadherin is an atypical cadherin and growing evidence has indicated that T‐cadherin exerts tumor‐suppressive effects on cancers of epithelial cell type and also causes positive effects on tumor angiogenesis. Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a hypervascular tumor and T‐cadherin
CpG methylation in the promoter region has been shown to be important in the regulation of genes implicated in malignant transformation. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that CpG methylation of the promoter region of the E-cadherin gene may inactivate its expression in renal cel
