## Abstract Extensive hypermethylation and consecutive transcriptional silencing of tumorsuppressor genes have been documented in multiple tumor entities including breast cancer. In a microarray based genome‐wide methylation analysis of five sporadic breast carcinomas we identified a hypermethylate

## Abstract The serine protease family member __PRSS3__ (__trypsinogen‐IV__) has been implicated as a putative tumor suppressor gene due to its loss of expression, which is correlated with promoter hypermethylation, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and gastric adenocarcinoma. As epigenetic alt
## Abstract Although sunitinib possesses significant clinical effects on imatinib‐resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the individuals with GIST eventually become resistant to treatment with this tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The mechanism of resistance to sunitinib is still under invest
## Abstract __ZAC__ is a paternally expressed, imprinted gene located on chromosome 6q24, within a region known to harbor a tumor suppressor gene for several types of neoplasia, including human ovarian cancer (HOC). We have failed to identify genetic mutations in the __ZAC__ gene in tumor material.
## Abstract Switching in hemoglobin gene expression is an informative paradigm for studying transcriptional regulation. Here we determined the patterns of chicken α‐globin gene expression during development and erythroid differentiation. Previously published data suggested that the promoter regions
The study of epigenetics, or how heritable changes in gene expression are regulated without modifying the coding DNA sequence, has become an increasingly important field of study in recent years. Rapid developments in our understanding of the way in which gene function is modulated by the environmen
