## Abstract ## Background Epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes plays an important role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumorigenesis. In the present study, we explore a novel target gene of epigenetic silencing in NPC, __Myocardin__, which is inactivated by promoter hypermethylation.
## Abstract The retinoblastoma proteinβinteracting zinc finger gene, __RIZ1__ (GenBank accession number U17838), is involved in chromatinβmediated gene expression and is also a target for frameshift mutation in microsatelliteβunstable cancers. Methylation of the __RIZ1__ promoter CpG island has bee
