New primers for methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction enhance specificity of detecting STAT1 methylation
Objective: Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 is a key tumor suppressor, which is always methylated in a variety of human cancers. However, nonspecific primers for the detection of specific promoter hypermethylation of STAT1 gene can lead to false-positive or false-negative res...
