Aberrant promoter methylation of the RASSF1A and APC genes in epithelial ovarian carcinoma development
2012
Purpose
Tumor suppressor gene (TSG) silencing through promoter hypermethylation plays an important role in cancer development. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of methylation of the RASSF1A and APC TSG promoters in ovarian epithelial adenomas, low malignant potential tumours and carcinomas in order to reveal a role for epigenetic TSG silencing in the development of these ovarian malignancies.
