Abstract:
Using methylation-specific real-time PCR, we determined the prevalence of aberrant methylation in the mismatch repair gene hMLH1 and in the recently described HPP1 gene among 50 esophageal, 50 cardiac and 50 gastric ADCs. Additionally, expression of hMLH1 protein was detected immunohistochemically and correlated with DNA MSI. Hypermethylation of hMLH1 was found in 14% of esophageal, 28% of cardiac and 32% of gastric ADCs, whereas HPP1 hypermethylation was found more frequently in the 3 tumor typ...     »
