## 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
## Abstract The serine protease family member __PRSS3__ (__trypsinogenβIV__) has been implicated as a putative tumor suppressor gene due to its loss of expression, which is correlated with promoter hypermethylation, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and gastric adenocarcinoma. As epigenetic alt
## 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
