Background & Objective: Aberrant DNA methylation plays important roles during multistage carcinogenesis in various human organs. This study was to explore the relationship between the promoter methylation and inactivation of DAPK gene in cervical cancer.
Methods: The promoter methylation of DAPK was investigated with methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) in 52 specimens of cervical cancer, 60 specimens of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and 20 specimens of normal cervical squamous epithelial tissues.
