Epigenetic Inactivation of RASSF1A in Lung and Breast Cancers and Malignant Phenotype Suppression

BACKGROUND: The recently identified RASSF1 locus is located within a 120-kilobase region of chromosome 3p21.3 that frequently undergoes allele loss in lung and breast cancers. We explored the hypothesis that RASSF1 encodes a tumor suppressor gene for lung and breast cancers. METHODS: We assessed exp... View More
