| Research Abstract |
We examined the epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation abnormality) in ovarian cancer by the whole-genome tiling array system and analysed the association between the etiology and conditions of a patient (age, staging, histological type). We found early stage variation for some tumor suppressor genes and imprinted genes. From the viewpoint of onset prevention, we examined the environmental factors, such as meals and life-styles. Furthermore, we developed a novel methylation analysis system, PCR-Luminex methods.
