DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that alters transcription in those genes containing CpG islands. In this report, a novel DNA methylation analysis method was developed employing bisulfite-single strand conformation polymorphism combined with capillary electrophoresis (bisulfit
## Abstract We compared the results of chimerism analyses with real‐time SNP‐PCR to those obtained by the classical STR‐PCR method in 135 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients. Using 10 different SNP gene loci, the SNP‐PCR method was able to discriminate patient from donor cells in 125
The expression of several cancer-related genes has been reported to be silenced by DNA methylation of their promoter region. 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR), a potent and specific inhibitor of DNA methylation, can reactivate the in vitro expression of these genes. In future clinical trials in tumo
