Effect of DNMT3A polymorphisms on CpG island hypermethylation in gastric mucosa

Effect of DNMT3A polymorphisms on CpG island hypermethylation in gastric mucosa

Abstract Background CpG methylation of tumor suppressor genes occurs in the early stage of carcinogenesis. Detecting risk factors for aberrant CpG methylation is clinically important for predicting cancer development. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 3a is considered to play critical roles in the DNA me...
