## Abstract Several studies have shown that Eβcadherin expression is lost during malignant transformation. We hypothesized that CpG methylation in the promoter region may inactivate the expression of the Eβcadherin gene in human bladder cancer. Normal and bladder cancer samples from 51 patients wer
E-cadherin plays a major role in intercellular adhesion, cell polarity and tissue architecture. We determined the relative risk of PCa associated with a previously reported C/A SNP at -160 bp relative to the transcription-start site of the E-cadherin gene promoter. Eighty-two PCa patients and 188 co
