## 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 Deletion of 11q23 is a common genetic aberration in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Multiple candidate tumor suppressor genes (TSG) were mapped to this region but few of them were investigated in NPC. __TSLC1__ (tumor suppressor in lung cancer) is recently reported to be a putative TSG
