PY - 2012 DA - 2012/07/05 TI - Promoter hypermethylation in male breast cancer: analysis by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification JO - Breast Cancer Research SP - R101 VL - 14 IS - 4 AB - Epigenetic events are, along with genetic alteration, important in the development and progression of cancer. Promoter hypermethylation causes gene silencing and is thought to be an early event in carcinogenesis. The role of promoter hypermethylation in male breast cancer has not yet been studied.
