Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined DNA methylation enzymes (DNMT3A, DNMT3B) and DNA demethylation enzymes (TET1, TET2, TET3) expression and profiles of head and neck cancer (HNSCC) patients. This study suggests that DNMT3A, DNMT3B, TET1, TET2, TET3 are a likely mechanism of X gene inactivation, supporting the hypothesis that the X gene may play a role in the tumorigenesis of HNSCC and may serve as an important biomarker.
