## Abstract Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are sometimes inactivated by transcriptional silencing through promoter hypermethylation. To identify novel methylated TSGs in melanoma, we carried out global mRNA expression profiling on a panel of 12 melanoma cell lines treated with a combination of 5βAza
## Abstract __HOX__ genes act as master genes to control morphogenesis. In human, HOX genes form 4 clusters composing 9 to 11 __HOX__ genes (39 genes in total) on different chromosomes. We hypothesized that aberrant expression of __HOX__ genes was associated with development and subsequent progress
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Methylationβmediated suppression of detoxification, DNA repair, and tumor suppressor genes has been implicated in cancer development and progression. Studies also have indicated that concordant methylation of multiple genes (methylator phenotypes), rather than a single g
