Association of promoter methylation of VGF and PGP9.5 with ovarian cancer progression.

PURPOSE:To elucidate the role of biological and clinical impact of aberrant promoter hypermethylation (PH) in ovarian cancer (OC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:PH of PGP9.5, HIC1, AIM1, APC, PAK3, MGMT, KIF1A, CCNA1, ESR1, SSBP2, GSTP1, FKBP4 and VGF were assessed by quantitative methylation specific PCR (QM...
