Human germ/stem cell-specific gene TEX19 influences cancer cell proliferation and cancer prognosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Perturbation of DNA methylation is frequent in cancers and has emerged as an important mechanism involved in tumorigenesis. To determine how DNA methylation is modified in the genome of primary glioma, we used Methyl-DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) and Nimblegen CpG promoter microarrays to identify different...
