## Abstract To identify the epigenetic changes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), we performed methylationβsensitive restriction fingerprinting (MSRF) analysis on NPC cell lines and xenografts. A 190 bp sequence methylated in NPC tumors was isolated and showed high homology to the 5β² CpG island of
Cancer cells are associated with global hypomethylation but with focal hypermethylation of specific gene promoters organized as CpG island. DNA methyltransferases, DNMT1 and 3 (3a and 3b), have been implicated in mediating maintenance and de novo methylation. Hypermethylation of gene promoters resul
