Association of DSC3 mRNA down-regulation in prostate cancer with promoter hypermethylation and poor prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Desmocollin 3 (DSC3), a member of the cadherin gene superfamily, is associated with pathogenesis of some cancers, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains largely unknown. METHODS: DSC3 gene expression level in available PCa microarray dataset was examined using the Oncomine databas...
