## Abstract Recently, __RASSF2A__ was identified as a potential tumor suppressor epigenetically inactivated in human cancers. Here, we evaluated the methylation status of __RASSF2A__ in colorectal cancer (CRC) and analyzed its correlation with K‐__ras__/__BRAF__ mutations, microsatellite instabilit
Genetic instability related to defective DNA mismatch repair genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of carcinoma in Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HN-PCC). To test that the targets of genetic instability could include critical transforming genes involved in colon tumor progression, w
