2003 NOV 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Abnormal methylation of several tumor suppressor genes occurs in sporadic breast cancer.

"Multiplex methylation-sensitive PCR was employed in studying the methylation of CpG islands in the RB1, p16/CDKN2A, p15/CDKN2B, p14/ARF, CDH1, MGMT, HIC1, and N33 promoter regions in breast cancer (105 tumors)," researchers in Russia report.

"Methylation was often observed for the two major suppressor genes involved in controlling the cell cycle through the Cdk-Rb-E2F signaling pathway, RB1 (18/105, 17%) and p16 (59/105, 56%); both genes were methylated in 13 tumors," wrote V.V. Zemlyakova and colleagues, Russian Academy of Medical Science, Medical Genetics Research Center.

The researchers concluded: "Methylation involved p15 in two (2%) tumors; CDH1, in 83 (79%) tumors; MGMT, in eight (8%) ...
