Frequent activation of the Ki-ras oncogene at codon 12 in N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced rat prostate adenocarcinomas and neurogenic sarcomas.

abstract：:Promoter hypermethylation is gaining strength as one of the main mechanisms through which tumor suppressor genes are silenced during tumor progression. Three tumor suppressor genes are frequently found methylated in their promoter, in concordance with absence of expression, RASSF1A, SLIT2, and WIF1. In addition, a pre...

abstract：:It is well known that the TP53 gene considerably influences on DNA repair processes. Polymorphisms in the TP53 gene, particularly the well-known Arg72Pro in codon 72 of exon 4 (Ex4+119 G>C; rs1042522), can modify the functionality of the p53 protein and activation of DNA repair. Actually, polymorphic variants Arg and ...
