## Abstract Epigenetic modification of gene expression plays an important role in the development of human cancers. The inactivation of __SPARC__ through CpG island methylation was studied in colon cancers using oligonucleotide microarray analysis and methylation specific PCR (MSP). Gene expression

## Abstract Loss of DNA mismatch repair occurs in a variety of malignancies and is associated with genomeβwide instability of microsatellite repeats, a molecular phenotype referred to as microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI is a consistent feature of colorectal and endometrial tumors from patients
High frequency loss of 3p21.3 region where RASSF1A located was demonstrated in several tumors. We aimed to investigate the methylation status of RASSF1A and the frequency of LOH in 3p21.3 region in bladder cancer. Three bladder cancer cell lines, 40 cases of bladder TCC and 14 cases of paired voided
## Abstract Promoter hypermethylation is an alternative mechanism of gene silencing in human cancers including gastric cancer. While intestinal metaplasia (IM) is generally regarded as a precancerous lesion of the stomach, our study examines the presence of gene promoter hypermethylation in IM of p
