Global methylation analysis identifies prognostically important epigenetically inactivated tumor suppressor genes in multiple myeloma.

abstract：:Rap family GTPases consist of multiple members with substantial functional redundancy. With the use of transgenic mice conditionally expressing a bona fide dominant-negative Rap1 mutant, Rap1A17, capable of inhibiting the activation of all Rap family members in B-lineage cells (mb.1-Rap1A17 Tg), we demonstrate that th...
