Analysis of Promoter Hypermethylation of DAPK and BAX Apoptotic Genes in Iranian Gastric Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

Analysis of Promoter Hypermethylation of DAPK and BAX Apoptotic Genes in Iranian Gastric Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

<strong>Background:</strong> The apoptotic route is mostly damaged in gastric cancer tumor cells. DNA methylation of promoter associated CpG islands inactivates tumor suppressor genes. The objective of the present study was to analyze the hypermethylation of death-associated protein kina...
